Reference enclosed screenshot. I typed "Squirrel Lake, Wisconsin" in the Map module search box. It shows the orange marker roughly in the middle of the lake. I want to position my photo (and many others) at a specific location along the shoreline. How do I relocate the orange marker to a more correct position now that it's positioned close by? I have this same issue with many other photos.

But yes, it would be intuitive if you could drag the marker.
 
The workaround is to just click the marker, which will select all the photos associated with it and move the filmstrip to their position. Then you can drag the whole bunch from the filmstrip to somewhere else (making sure to drag from within the photo thumbnail - not the border around it).
 
I'm not at my Lightroom computer but I think all you have to do is right click where you want to add the images and the first selection is to add the location to the pictures.

Yep - I verified that this works too, as long as the images are all selected first.
