Lat Long Shows Wrong Result In Business Catalyst

Question

Hi All,
We created a custom map on BC where we use lat and long to point the place on the map. However, in the case of Long Island the result always goes to the middle of the sea. Any ideas on how to rectify this?
Thanks.

Thanks Chris - We have created a custom map lat and longitude for the website and even put in our on lat long fields. It still shows it wrong
The address is actually an island. As you can see below it is getting the right lat and longitude but showing up differently on the map.

I agree with you that BC's mapping is quite off when it comes to addresses.
BTW - the demo is great. Probably going to use it on our next maps project.
