If I may say so the design of geotag is silly. I should be able to enter the name of a place that MS (or even google) has never heard of. Two examples. 
  • I live in Chelsea in London (a very well known district and presumably where Pres Clinton's daughter's name comes from).  I see from my geotag lists that MS corrected it to Chelsea in Maine.  I have been in Maine many times and have never heard of the place.  Is there a bias towards US places. by any chance? 
  • Concerning a very different place, I recently visited Anzac Cove which was where the Aussies and the NZers went ashore at Gallipoli in c1915 (WWI) and were slaughtered in their thousands.  geotag had never heard of it.  Why cant I just type Anzac Cove and have WLPG accept it instead of these bossy messages from MS.

On the same trip I went to Istanbul and it insisted that the geotag should be Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey.

Come on MS get international!

My request in the short term is that I should be able to enter any set of alpha numeric characters and not have MS tell me if they approve
