When using location coordinates in the Location Column. The location does not show u correctly on the Map View. It picks a location adress (nearest house) near the coördinate. Why is this happening? And when can this be fixed?
Do others have the same experience?
I have had contact with Support and gave them al the details. Coordinates give a correct location on Google Maps.
Hi @Jappa! Hm this sounds a little strange as I haven’t been able to reproduce this behaviour. Can you duplicate the column and/or create a new column, and let me know if this behaviour persists? Similarly, is this happening for all locations that you input into the column?
Hello @BiancaT ,
Thank you for looking after my problem.
Yes tried a new column but it happens all the time. Also on all our different boards.
see the difference in location on Google Maps and the given location on the map in Monday, using the same coördinate (52.24399054633531,4.829359100127455).
And if I copy the coördinate from Monday (that gives a wrong location in Monday), and I put it in Google Maps. It shows the correct location

Thanks so much for this insight - really appreciate it! I’ve shared these screenshots internally with our team to check on expected behaviour/accuracy of our map view. Once I hear back I will circle back here 
Thanks for your patience with me 
Hey @Jappa - thanks for your patience! I’ve heard from our team and they have advised for you to reach out to our dedicated support team via support@monday.com, so that our technical specialists can investigate this. I apologise for the double work here, however they are experts in their field and should be able to take a closer look at this issue - thanks in advance!
Got in contact, but they dont know when this issue will be resolved. So I am left in the dark now… 
We can certainly keep an eye on any changes to your request @Jappa! You’re welcome to send us a private message (using the community function) with your email so we can monitor its progress
Bumping this because it still hasn’t been fixed 
@BiancaT Any news?
It looks like the Monday Map does not show the coördinate, but the nearest address
Thank you for the follow-up
@Jappa can you please direct message your email so I can check on the support ticket you raised? This will help me check on the status of this issue.
I can then share this update with @bob1.
Thank you!
Hi Jasper and Bob,
Thank you for being so patient with me.
I have heard from our product team and to be completely transparent, at this time, it isn’t currently an immediate focus for the team due to some other more severe issues impacting the platforms performance. I understand that this isn’t the answer you were hoping for and I’ve relayed this to the team in charge. If there are changes or developments in the future, rest assured I will update this thread as soon as I am informed!
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Thank you for the update.
As the map gives a wrong location. As I use the app and navigate to the coordinate, with Google Maps app. It goes to the correct coordinate/location.
So Map is useless, but column with the values still works for us.
I am also having the same issues with the geographic precision of the map coordinates when the coordinates are pulled from my Monday project board and displayed back on Google Maps. I am mapping recreational and land use planning on Mount St. Helens and the sift of a few feet on the map can drop the project location off a cliff or in a volcano- literally. Below are a couple of screen shots showing how I go the coordinates in Google Maps - then those coordinates remapped from Monday back into Google Maps.

Is there any update on when when the accuracy of geographic information (not tied to roads or buildings) will be fixed as I have over 200 datapoints to map for our collaboration of 21 local, state and federal agencies. How can I get this information to display accurately as I am using Monday to display this data on our website? https://view.monday.com/embed/4767553760-7622be30a8b72522a496eab059b3e536?r=use1
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Everyone,
Like @Jappa already noticed, monday.com maps the coordinates to the nearest address. This is the way the Location column works.
At Tryve we’ve built two apps that can solve this problem. First of all we have the Location Toolkit with the Map Picker as one of the features. The Map Picker could be the feature you are looking for. It allows you to select a precise location on a map which will be saves to the Location column.
If you have the coordinates already in a text column or excel file our Location Importer might be the app you are looking for. With our new feature (released this week) you can convert latitude + longitude combinations into a Location column. While we might still map it to an address (so the Location column shows you the nearest address if applicable) the actual coordinates behind the scenes remain those that you entered, thus the pin on the map will show on the exact location.
Both of our apps have a free trial available and please do not hesitate to reach out if you need any help or a demo!
Best,
Maarten
I was facing the same issue with portrait mode but it got resolved. Thanks to you guys.
