Ah... right. :-) The location widget on the probe detail page uses a
positioning method that is linked to addresses, so you can't place
probes anywhere you want.

For now I have manually set the location of the probe to the last known
location of the ship. In the future, we plan to have the
latitude/longitude settable via the probe API, which could be mashed up
with all manner of exciting location APIs. (I sense a future RIPE Atlas
hackathon project...)
