on a very small sample of action , it seems a significant portion of action presenter skip the google map location
it is easy to detect the existence of a marker : the latitude and longitude fields are not blank

if they are blank at submit - submit should be refused, and accepted only if those fields are not blank

the feedback message :

"you have not located your action on the map that is visible in the form -
so your action is not visible in the map
to correct this click several times on the map zooming where to locate your action ( explanations are given in the text above the map ) "

This will be part of autozooming the map for easier use. Two features for the price of one.

the scanning of the action list shows that quite a number of action are not positionned in the map - where are we with having non zero coordinates a condition for editing submitting an action ?

Can we have a list of unmapped (zero coordinates) actions and a way to send an automatic message to the users who presented it?

If someone else can take this on before I can get to it, that would be great.

Here's the battle plan-- you'll be greeted as a hero:

I've asked Dan to do a view to create an admin list of unmapped actions (Filter by location: latitude equals zero and location: longitude equals zero or not present).

we are waiting eagerly for Dan work .... and meanwhile go on interacting with some action managers, or locating the actions for them

This was done (in time, unlike this comment) with a view-- filtering by null or zero latitude and longitude didn't work, but sorting did:
