Put the map pin where visitors need it.
A pin in the middle of a building may be accurate enough on paper and unhelpful on arrival. Give your AI assistant the verified entrance coordinates and let it correct the existing Open User Map location. You can also update a business that has moved, without recreating its saved details.
Same place. A more useful point on the map.
Imagine a visitor centre whose marker lands on the roof. You have checked the public entrance and confirmed its coordinates. Ask your assistant to move that location’s pin to the entrance. The existing entry keeps its description and other stored information.
This is useful when your assistant is already helping maintain the website: it can apply the map correction as part of that work. You supply the existing location ID and the new coordinates. The add-on performs the update; it does not discover the entrance or decide where visitors should go.
The grey pin marks the old position; the teal pin shows the checked entrance. It is the same location entry.
Three jobs you can bring into your assistant
Use the add-on for corrections to existing Open User Map entries. Each call changes one location, so you can inspect the result before continuing.
Point to the right entrance
Move an imprecise marker to the entrance or meeting point you have verified. Keep the current address when it is already correct. A coordinate check does not establish step-free access or a safe route; confirm those facts separately if they matter.
Follow a business to its new premises
When an existing business moves, update the address and coordinates of its current entry. Keep the record’s other details instead of creating a second location just to put the pin elsewhere.
Work through a checked correction list
Give your assistant a list of existing location IDs and confirmed replacement coordinates. It can apply the changes one location at a time. This is a workflow you run with your assistant, not a built-in bulk importer or automatic map audit.
One update tool inside the map you already use
Open User Map remains responsible for your locations and their display. This add-on exposes one operation, open-user-map/update-location, through WordPress MCP. It changes latitude, longitude and, optionally, the address. It does not create locations, search them, geocode addresses, change map styling or calculate routes.
Make the correction, then check the map
Choose the existing entry
Find the location and its WordPress post ID in the native editor or another authorised reading tool. The connected user must be allowed to edit that location. The add-on supplies the update operation, not a location browser.
Supply a verified destination
Provide both latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. Include the address only if it should change; omitting it preserves the saved address. Check the order and signs: numbers within the accepted geographic ranges can still point to the wrong place.
Inspect the result
After the update, read the entry and open the map at a useful zoom level. Confirm the pin and displayed address match the intended destination. Review each correction before moving on to the next location.
You need WordPress 6.9 or later, PHP 8.0 or later, an active Open User Map installation, the WordPress Abilities API and an authenticated MCP adapter. The caller needs permission to edit posts and the selected location. Both coordinates are required; an empty address explicitly clears the existing address.
Make your next map correction from your assistant
Start with one existing entry and verified coordinates. Correct the pin, check the map and keep the location information you have already built.
