The lack of feedback is probably because location management is actually 
a workable tool now. I cannot crash it (SHA gd9801). I have tried adding 
coordinates by hand in several formats and it appears quite ok. I also 
added coordinates from Marble and it looks ok. All the coordinates are 
stored against the correct dives as far as I can see, no scrambling of 
coordinates. Tomaz you are fantastic. I also messed around with dive 
site coordinates, replacing the present dive site with another existing 
dive site. All appears ok. Thanks to the work by Robert and others there 
is now quite a bit of freedom in the way Subsurface accepts hand-entered 
coordinates. This really helps.

I have two gripes:
1) One needs a facility to check, and if necessary, edit the coordinates 
of a dive site. Once a dive site is successfully entered, there is no 
way to view, rename a site or edit the coordinates or to delete the dive 
site from the database. When cliking the "+" next to an existing dive 
site, it does not give the info for that dive site. It gives blank form.

2) Coordinates of the form 30.67°E 27.87°S are parsed as in the northern 
hemisphere. If they are entered in the form 30.67°S 27.87°E they are 
parsed correctly as being in the southern hemisphere. So order is 
important. I hope to do some diving a week from now and will test 
coordinate upload using the companion app.
Kind regards,
willem
