    You hit the little green update arrows once you have fixed your location on the Nike site. But it looks like you figured that out. Your map matches your Nike profile right now.

    Sorry, I don't understand this solution - how do I "fix my location on the nike site"? All I can find there in my profile is my home address (of which only the city is publicly visible). I also looked in the mapit section, but that only lets me map runs, not where I am based. I certainly can't find anything with little green arrows. Any more suggestions?

    The little green arrows icon is on your Slowgeek profile page. HERE
    You can hit that to force a cache refresh which means it will go and refetch your profile info from the Nike site. On the Nike site you can set the city you live in. They used to expose more than that, including your zip/postal code, which in Britain, at least, gets you a very accurate location. But people were concerned about privacy issues, so they cut it back to just the Country and City. Currently there is no way to set it more accurately, although I have been meaning to write something on the Slowgeek side that lets people override their Nike location with whatever they want. Some people, especially in larger cities, like to narrow it down to an area of the city.
