Ok, so I want to report the pin for my work location is not right (it's not too bad off and it will still get people there if they are willing to look a few stores down but I'd like to help make it more accurate).

So I try the report function for pin not at right location and it tells me to drag the pin to the right location.

Except far as I can tell there is no way to drag the pin. If I try to tap it and drag it, the map moves around instead. If I try two fingers, the map changes angle, if I try one finger holding the edge and the other finger tapping the pin, it thinks I'm pinching to zoom.

What am I doing wrong here? Is it just that fiddly on hitting the right exact spot for the pin (in my experience Apple is not usually that bad about UI to make it that frustrating to actually tap the pin). I mean I seriously can't seem to get the pin to move, it always thinks I'm just trying to move the map around (maybe apple should have instead made the pin stay in the center of the screen and have you move the map until the pin was in the right location).

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out (going to leave this up for other people to see). You don't drag the pin, you put your finger where you think the pin should be and hold until it appears there. That is really bad interface. They either should tell you to hold your finger where the pin should be or let you actually drag the pin. It will confuse people when they say drag the pin and you can't actually drag the pin.
