If there is a line through a site name in the results list, this means the specific address cannot be located on the map. This may be because the wrong address has been entered into simPRO and then imported into simTRAC.

Hover over the site name to locate any close matches. You can select another address to pin the job in the correct place.

To edit the site address, go to Settings > Manage Geofences and Sites and click the edit icon.
