Description

Tonight, I participated on an adventure game. We knew ahead the coordinates of six control points. So I wanted to use my new toy Nextcloud Maps for that. As I was running already, it turned out that almost all of these six pair of coordinates showed up incorrect results. For instance: 59.39736,24.29106. The marker will be set to Merenuka in the forest near a road. Actually, that point is like half a kilometer South. I fulfilled with that information my story on setting up FOSS-directions where you can see screenshots, too.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported search with coordinates 59.39736,24.29106 and compare the marker location with the expected point near Merenuka. Done means searched control-point coordinates place markers at the correct locations rather than roughly half a kilometer away.
