Low Accuracy Listing Locations
A while back, I made it so that PadMapper would start showing listings whose locations it wasn’t confident in with a different color marker (grayish-red rather than the normal bright red).

Getting Your Pet From Here to There
Getting yourself and old Puss ‘n’ Boots from point A to point B is an exhausting adventure that I would not wish upon anyone.
