Hi John,

Sydney is listed in Guide's database, so I suspect you're trying to add
your exact location within Sydney rather than using Guide's database
location. You can't just change Sydney's location, you would have to modify
the database.

You should be able to set the Location dialog to Sydney, change lat and
long only, click Okay to close the Location dialog. Save this chart at
File|Save Mark as "Home" (or whatever name you want). Exit Guide, reopen
it, and File|Load mark should now list Home with exactly the same settings
as Sydney except for the lat and long.

This should work, but if it doesn't, what version of Guide are you using,
and what release date is shown under Help|About Guide?
