No.

We used to do that, and it's a nightmare. If you walk through dives in
a trip where some dives have locations and others don't (which is very
common even if you give all your dives locations - think "I'm now
downloading new dives"), it's absolutely horrible.

It's also horrible if you want to manually give a location. You were
just at your previous dive, now you go to the dive you want to give a
location to (possibly the same location, and very likely near-by), and
now the damn map zooms out to middle of nowhere.

DO NOT MOVE/CHANGE THE MAP WHEN A DIVE HAS NO LOCATION.

It's really really bad.
