Platform: Website Browser: Chrome I’ve just noticed this issue with observations on the edge of a place, and I’m not sure what’s caused it. One the edge of the place, some observations are included and some excluded, and I cannot work out why. The place in question is this one , although I haven’…

[image] matthew_connors: both have some of their uncertainty area outside of the place i’m fairly certain this isn’t a bug. the exclusion of an observation from a community-created place occurs when the accuracy circle breaks the bounding box of the place, not the boundary polygon of the plac…

I’m not 100% sure whether it is the location polygon or bounding box, but it definitely looks to be an accuracy circle issue. See these two observations which are the same location https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/100061053 (50m accuracy) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/109745362 …

FWIW, the red box here is an approximation of the place’s bounding box: [image] Looks like the two observations @cthawley pointed out were close to the southern edge of the bounding box in that weird corner, so it makes sense that the differences in radii would keep one out of hte place. On our …
