1) I imported users
2) Mapped address to registered voter address
3) After import, users not showing on the map
4) To get them to show on the map, I have to visit each person and hit save (I don't enter any additional data). Once I do that, they appear on the map.
Another bug?
Howdy Steve!
After people are imported in with address information they are sent off to be geocoded. Once geocoding has finished they will appear on the map. Geocoding typically takes between 2 and 6 hours, depending on the amount of people brought in by the import. Saving a record will send a one off geocode for a record, thus the reason you’re seeing the person on the map after saving a record.
Additionally, you can see the status of your geocoding by logging in to your nation and clicking “Settings” > “Status” > “Geocoding”.
If geocoding doesn’t happen within 24 hours please contact your organizer and they can assist on this issue.

I wish there was some communication that gave me a heads up about the time it takes to geocode. I’ve been banging my head on he wall for a couple of hours trying to figure out what was wrong.
