Boundaries of the Northwest Territories

Just to be totally transparent (if perhaps a little too deep in the weeds), I’m pretty sure there is an actual bug, or at least some unexpected behavior. If you use the Location box, then when iNat looks for a place, it cuts off the search at 20 characters, so when you look for something with a longer name, it gives up and just uses the rectangle that it gets from Google. Northwest Territories is one character too long. Newfoundland and Labrador is way too long and also gives a rectangle when searching from Location (but the correct boundary when using Filters->More Filters->Place).

Alberta works fine from the Location search.
