It has been brought to my attention, thank you @bruster, that some members are pinning their exact address/location on the member map.  We want to know where members are from.  It is fun/interesting to see our membership from around the world.  But it is probably good enough to narrow the location down to city and state/country.

When I first pinned my location I was asked if I want to use my current location and I answered "Yes".  It put the pin right on my house.  A couple days later I rethought this and moved the pin to somewhere in Omaha.  I'm not even sure where I have it.  I hope I'm in a nice neighborhood.

The member map is only accessible to members.  So perhaps I'm suggesting excess caution.  But if you have the pin right on your house you may want to consider moving it.  And, obviously, it is entirely your decision how precise you want your pin to be. 

Should you decide to move it there is an easy option to do so.

I pinned my location by using the closest city. My marker  started moving up the West Coast. I just put my address minus the city, since I live in the county, and it has stayed in place.

I put my pin on a Tim Horton's coffee shop not too far away from my house. 

You get a rough idea where I am without being specific

But do they have good food?  ;) 

I did something similar.  I just moved the pin a few miles from my house.
