GPS Location not showing correct location on map view

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

[Correct location in Google Maps:]

[Incorret location on map in Monday:]

@BiancaT

Another example using coördinate: 52.242708, 4.835016

On Google Maps:

On map in Monday:

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 :pray: Thanks for your patience with me :slight_smile:

It looks like the Monday Map does not show the coördinate, but the nearest address

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.
