Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can.

Platform (Android, iOS, Website): Website

App version number, if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About):

Screenshots of what you are seeing (instructions for taking a screenshot on computers and mobile devices: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/):

Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&user_id=engelhard&verifiable=any
(So just creating a world map with all observations on it. Observations of wandering albatross and Cape petrel, between Tasmania and sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island, not showing. These are https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/108759536 and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/108758347)

Step 2: (These would be the first of a set of observations in 1995, 1996 and 1998 when I participated in the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions. They would be from Macquarie Island, Terre Adelie and the seas in between).

Step 3: Thank you!

there’s not a bug here. the very large positional accuracy values associated with the locations on these observations make them unmappable, based on the way the system was designed.
