Location on Live Lightning Map - SteveQlQ - 2021-04-18

Hi..This is a minor "problem", but I just noticed this. If I click on "Locates the user on the map" a blue dot comes on which is very close to my actual location. However the icon with my station number is not in the same place; sometimes close and other times a few miles away (and it changes). Is this normal?

Thanks, Steve

Dear Steve,

yes, that is intentional. So that the house cannot be precisely located. The exact address is changed randomly with each call.
