Bug report GPS coordinate

Hi @rebeca

Just to clarify, these coordinates would apply to every encounter in the import, correct? I want to make sure we’re on the same page before we start working on it. This actually wouldn’t bee too difficult for us to correct.

This sounds like an issue with the way Excel formatted the row of cells for your coordinates. We typically see this happen with the occurrence ID field.

Here’s a link I’ve found helpful for past troubleshooting:

Even though this page says the steps will fix dates, it works for what you’ve described, too. We’re working on getting bulk import to be better at validating fields, but in the meantime, make sure to check the import preview page because the reformatted coordinates would display there before you commit the import.
