Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):
I upload many observations using the pinned location for my yard (“Poorwill Canyon Ct…” in Arizona, USA). Frequently—maybe 1 in 5 times?—when I select a group of observations to upload and then choose that pinned location, the resulting map screen puts me somewhere in the Middle East, near Libya (see screenshots). It’s the same wrong place each time. The coordinates look fine in the location screen, and when I repeat the steps to choose my pinned yard location, it finds my yard without problems. But it happens often enough that it seems to be a bug.
Step 1: Add observations to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/upload page
Step 2: Check box “Select All”
Step 3: Click on “Location” at left under Details
Step 4: Choose pinned location “Poorwill Canyon Ct…” from dropdown
Step 5: Location pictured is somewhere in Libya (see close-up screenshot followed by zoomed out screenshot)
Step 6: Repeat choosing of pinned location “Poorwill Canyon Ct…” from dropdown menu; this time it works fine.
