How do I make my printer visible on the Prusa World Map?
I have my printer connected to Prusa Connect and I specified my location using City, State, Country (US) but it doesn't show on the map. I assume there's some setting to make it visible but I don't see it. Is the world map associated with my Printables account and not with Connect? I spent a fair amount of time looking but couldn't find any documentation on how to make a printer visible on the map.
Thanks,
Dave

I had that problem, initially I told it to detect my location but it came up with my ISP's address. If you go into your Printables profile (edit button next to your avatar on your profile page), scroll down to the bottom where the map is and enter your address in the text box over the the top of the map. I had to do it a couple of times to get it to register correctly.
I think the map system is a bit flaky

Okay, nevermind, I did find it -- it's associated with my Printables account, not with Prusa Connect.

You need to login to the map, using same details as all the other Prusa sections then go into Edit Profile on the map page and select "share my location" radio button down the bottom

Okay, yes I see that and I logged in to the world map but there's no place to enter my location so it's picking it up from somewhere else. Where do I edit my location?
I changed my location under my Printables settings but that's not the address that's being used for the world map.
