Charles, The easiest way is to go to the Master Location list as Brian says and then highlight the problem location (if you access the Master List from the arrow at the end of the location field in the Individual View, it will already be highlighted) then click the Geo-code button above the People using this location list and choose Do not auto geo-code the current location. This removes the Lat/Long co-ordinates and puts a - in the L column.
Then you can use a nearby location already entered and properly mapped to get near the place in order to manually map it by right clicking. Just make sure you've shifted the highlight back to the right location before doing the right click on the map. Note if you sort the Master List from right to left then all the New Zealand locations should be together if you've entered your locations consistently ending with the country. Moving the map to the right place as Brian suggests is really awkward when crossing the globe and it's really easy to do something and see the map fly all the way back to the wrong location. Marking the location first to do not auto code stops that fly back. Note that the Geo-code button has nothing to do with the separately downloadable Geo Database. That's something I don't use at all as I have very few USA locations and I don't find it helpful for non-USA locations. I research and map all locations I enter checking the Verified checkbox when I'm happy the pin is on the exact spot. I include churches, street addresses etc in the location as I don't like the output when they're entered as Addresses.
