Setting Location.

In Profiles, you can set your list of places lived and your current main home. But it doesn't let you set your current location. Since the demise of Latitude a year ago, I've struggled with this. AFAIK, it's impossible to do this from the desktop or mobile web interfaces. It may be possible to do this from the Android and iOS apps.

In the past I've had some success using Checkin on the mobile web interface as long as I change the user agent to a mobile device like Chrome on iPad. But even that doesn't work any more, and doesn't change my profile from "lives in" to "currently in".

Any ideas? The official help page is less than helpful

And there's no obvious place to discuss this, so can you suggest a good place to start? Posting feedback is unproductive because it's a write only black hole.
