I have a serious cold and my head is even more muggy than usual.
So please humor me.

Since we don't autocomplete dive sites on mobile... what behavior do
you think is the expected behavior if you are on mobile, you have an
old dive at "Turle Reef" in Maui, with GPS data, and you realize that
this should of course be "Turtle Reef".

I would assume that you'd want the GPS to stay and the name to be
updated.

I must be missing the scenario that you are thinking of where this is
the wrong thing to do, Linus.
