Locations Displayed Wrong and Below West Africa

If all your map items cluster near 0°N, 0°E (below West Africa), your CMS items have empty or invalid latitude and longitude values — that coordinate is the default when no valid data is present. Use latlong.net to look up correct coordinates and paste them into the corresponding text fields in your Webflow CMS.

If your map items are all clustered below West Africa (near 0°N, 0°E), it means your CMS items have missing or invalid latitude and longitude values. That coordinate (0, 0) is the default when no valid data is present.

Look Up the Correct Coordinates

Use a tool like latlong.net — type in your address to get the correct latitude and longitude values.
