Making some progress. I dug a little deeper and found [this thread](https://discuss.blues.com/t/lon-lat-not-included-in-starnote-note/3017), which pointed me to these [instructions for restoring the \_lat and \_lon metadata fields](https://dev.blues.io/notecard/notecard-walkthrough/low-bandwidth-design/?_ga=2.91729050.1824189211.1748535697-317168618.1745785672&_gac=1.261754495.1747062297.CjwKCAjwuIbBBhBvEiwAsNypvYGEPyn_G39CN1H_DTc4ZVw_RV5VOBZODqCcCjvT36zzbEiL3aigARoCilsQAvD_BwE&_gl=1*7l1qdt*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NDcwNjIyOTUuQ2p3S0NBand1SWJCQmhCdkVpd0FzTnlwdllHRVB5bl9HMzlDTjFIX0RUYzRaVndfUlY1Vk9CWk9EcUNjQ2p2VDM2enpiRWlMM2FpZ0FSb0NpbHNRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*MTgwMDMwMDYyMy4xNzQ1Nzg1Njcx*_ga*MzE3MTY4NjE4LjE3NDU3ODU2NzI.*_ga_PJ7RGMWWBX*czE3NDg3MzE1MTgkbzQzJGcxJHQxNzQ4NzM2MTIzJGoxNSRsMCRoNjM2Nzk1NjI4#creating-compact-templates) to a compact template.

So now my events are showing up in Notehub with ‘best location’ data, which is great! However the location data on the Device:Summary page and the Device:Map page is still missing. Perhaps I don’t understand how those are populated. I assumed they would display the location data from the device’s most recent event. Or is that not how those device location fields work?

Thanks!
