I've been solving some puzzles and have them saved to a Bookmark List.  When I use the 'Map Bookmark List' they still show up at their published location not the corrected coordinates.  I've updated the coordinates just below where they are normally listed and in the Personal Cache Notes area.

Project-GC will automatically pick up updated coordinates you have put in the Personal Cache Note field, but it will only check them a couple of times per day unless you specifically ask for it (either via Support -> Self-support or by requesting a refresh of corrected coordinates when exporting a VGPS). If you only have updated the coordinates via the pen icon by the coordinates on the cache page Project-GC will not automatically detect this update for technical reasons, but the refresh method with the VGPS described above still works.

Since you say that you have used both methods you should be fine here, as long as you didn't update the coordinates just now. When I try mapping a bookmark list I get the caches shown at the new (corrected) location, so the function as such works. When did you update the coordinates?

Looks I'm not waiting long enough for the update.  I'll check again tomorrow.
It works great now, shouldn't have been so impatient.  Mystery Caches show up in the 'corrected' locations with a check mark and pencil.  Thanks!
Remember PGC is not the same website as geocaching.com. It always takes time for PGC to update from changes made to GC. Most updates occur within a day, some can take two or three days, historical changes (eg editing an old log) may take a week or more.

Just to be sure, you updated the coordinates (pencil tool) on GC?

The pencil tool does not have to always work. It is very nicely explained in the FAQ: http://project-gc.com/Home/FAQ#3233005314
