    My problem with the maps is finding the pub I want amongst all the green buttons.

    I look on the map at the top so I can move the map around. I used to get the pub I was on indicated by showing it's name in a little box. It is not there now, so If I haven't the address I have to scroll down the right hand side to find the pub and click on it to get the box.

    Well spotted. However, I've checked this with some that I have corrected and although I agree the "pub location" map on the pub's main page is showing a slightly different position from the "interactive map", I don't think it's the original "best guess". I think it's that the two map versions are slightly different and are out of sync with each other. Here's an example, and here are two more in Derby that I've just done (to see if a recent change made a difference to how they're presented - it doesn't). These were all quite a long way from their correct spots (see http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubmapaudit/42898/, for example), but the "front page" map just shows them slightly away from the street, as though the map is out of kilter.

    Hope this helps Dave to identify the problem.

    I agree it's not as good as it used to be, and I hope Dave will be able to fix it. However, the pub you are on is bound to be dead centre on the map (if you've arrived there by clicking the map button on the main page), meaning that it is always going to be top of the list in the pane on the right. Just click on it there, and the name appears on the map.

    Yes I have been looking at it since I typed my post to see how it was going to work. If it is always at the top, I can live with that. I was looking for a station near a pub and moved the map around looking for the station so the names on the right moved around. Found the station then hadn't a clue where the pub was. OK with it now.
