We have some problems with our geolocation:
- The user https://oldergay.men/users/fraser-barnfather lives in Sint Maarten, in the Caribbean. No matter how we try to add his location to his profile — by country, city, specific address, etc. — our geo coordination service resolves it to "Sint Maarten, Netherlands", and shows a Google map of the Netherlands. The island of Sint Maarten belongs to the Netherlands, but is thousands of miles from it.
- The user https://oldergay.men/users/chuck-weltz lives in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. No matter how we try to enter his address, it's rewritten to Sarasota, Pennsylvania.
- In app/controllers/application_controller.rb, we've had to change any "Ireland" entries to Athlone, Ireland, or else we don't get results in Ireland.
