Is there a hard limit on the number of locations that can be displayed accurately using the Location+ template? It seems to start randomly off-setting the locations around when I reach 13-15 dots on one map. It doesn't break down completely but the error is enough to make it unusuable. Help?

:{{ping|Shannon1}} The map code itself can handle huge numbers of points. For example, [[Template:Syrian Civil War detailed map]] has over 5000 points and still looks fine. If you're using {{tl|Location map+}} to use a lot of points, it's possible that you have some extra whitespace, which causes issues. What page do you notice inaccuracies on?

::{{ping|Jackmcbarn}} Thanks for the quick reply. I have a test page on [[User:Shannon1/Sandbox_3]], for locations of stream gauging stations in California. The ones in the top left are displaying correctly but the ones further down (RUS, AMR, ANF and SJF) are for some reason located quite a bit further south/west than they should. I checked the coordinates multiple times and can't seem to find the source of the problem.

:::{{ping|Shannon1}} The problem was indeed that you had extra whitespace. I removed it and now it looks normal to me. [[User:Jackmcbarn|Jackmcbarn]] ([[User talk:Jackmcbarn|talk]]) 21:16, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
::::Oh wow, that looks much better. Thanks so much! I had no idea that the blank lines affected the display of coordinates.
