### Editing your address

#### Update your street address

If you need to change your address:

2\. The map pin will auto-adjust based on the address  
3\. Click "**Save**"

![location - map](https://knowledge.wetu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Content/How%20do%20I%20set%20the%20location%20or%20GPS%20details%20for%20my%20profile/location%20-%20map.jpg?width=670&height=482&name=location%20-%20map.jpg)

#### Add a nearby airport

Help travel agents plan transfers by adding the nearest airport or airstrip.

1\. Click "**Add Airport**"  
2\. Type the airport name in the search field  
3\. Select the correct airport from the dropdown  
4\. Click "**Save**"

![location airport](https://knowledge.wetu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Content/How%20do%20I%20set%20the%20location%20or%20GPS%20details%20for%20my%20profile/location%20airport.jpg?width=670&height=482&name=location%20airport.jpg)

 **Tip:** This provides a quick reference for trade members planning client logistics.

### Adjust your driving point

If the map pin doesn't point to your exact entrance or reception:

1\. Locate the **driving point icon** (car or marker)  
2\. Click and **drag** it to the correct location  
3\. Position it at your main entrance or parking area  
4\. Click "**Save**"

![location driving point](https://knowledge.wetu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Content/How%20do%20I%20set%20the%20location%20or%20GPS%20details%20for%20my%20profile/location%20driving%20point.gif?width=670&height=482&name=location%20driving%20point.gif)

**Why adjust this?** GPS often routes to the center of a property. Setting the driving point to your entrance helps guests arrive at the right spot.

### Best practices

**Address accuracy**  
\- Use your exact street address  
\- Verify the map pin is on your property  
\- Update if you move or change locations

**Driving point precision**  
\- Point to your main entrance or reception  
\- Don't leave it in the center of a large property  
\- Test the location with Google Maps to verify accuracy

**Airport selection**  
\- Choose the nearest airport clients will use  
\- For rural areas, include small airstrips  
\- Add multiple airports if you're equidistant from several

**Directions clarity**  
\- Edit auto-generated directions for local accuracy  
\- Add landmarks ("Pass the Shell station")  
\- Include gate codes or security instructions  
\- Mention road conditions if relevant (4x4 required, etc.)

**Destination associations**  
\- Add major nearby attractions  
\- Include the broader region (e.g., Mpumalanga + Kruger)  
\- Don't over-associate - keep it relevant (3-5 destinations)  
\- Think about what agents search for

### Why location details matter

\- Match properties to client destination requests  
\- Provide clients with clear arrival information

**For your visibility:**  
\- Appear in location-based searches  
\- Get matched when agents build itineraries for your region  
\- Show up for nearby attraction searches  
\- Improve your ranking in search results

**The map pin is in the wrong place**  
\- Update your street address  
\- Or manually drag the driving point to the correct location  
\- Verify using Google Maps coordinates if needed

\- Try variations (airport name, IATA code, city name)  
\- Search for nearby larger airports  
\- Content request form [http://wetu.com/contentrequest](http://wetu.com/contentrequest)

**Auto-generated directions are wrong**

\- Search for the broader region  
\- Content request form [http://wetu.com/contentrequest](http://wetu.com/contentrequest)
