[image] Still not finding any resolution to the issue illustrated in the screen capture that I have pasted above. This is Toronto and as you can see the projected City of Toronto boundary misses a significant portion of land. The same happens if I adjust the location search to “Toronto”. When I ma…

On the about page for any place you can flag it for issues. In this case the page for Toronto already has two flags about this (and 2 previous forum threads): https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/545806 https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/646004 Wonky County Borders - General The boundaries of Toront…

Ah, I just realized this is a continuation of a previous thread where the reason for lack of resolution has already been given by staff: [image] Incorrect location boundaries [image] Incorrect location boundaries what we need is update of automatically created places with newer GADM maps whic…

Towns matter a lot in New England.These 26 k observations are mostly in Warwick, but mostly labeled as being in Orange. https://www.ina…

Given that half of iNaturalist is GIS, I think it’s worthwhile to do it to make sure everything lines up, possibly during northern hemisphere winter when the site is least active. I’m not aware of any border changes since the last time the place definitions were imported, but I’m sure the people who…

Y’all should be happy that your mapping problems are at the municipal and borough level! You don’t know how good you have it! For most of the world outside of Europe and North America even the country borders are crap. Here’s the entire southern border of the country of Belize: [Screen Shot 2025-1…
