Team 'Good News '

I’m not quite sure who to address this to, @Shane_McAllister but I have an issue.

While working on the visualization of the GDELT positive data that my team is concerned with, I discovered that the location data in the GDELT dataset is not well detailed.

What I mean is, I put the location coordinates e.g. "coordinates": [-81.717, 27.8333]" on Google Maps to check if the location returned will be the same as the location fullname (Florida, US for this example) and for some coordinates, it is accurate, but in others, I have to reverse the coordinate values to get the right location.

This is an issue because of the absence of a defined “longitude” and “latitude” property in the location field and it sort of introduces complications for me (some points are outside the map).

I’m just wondering if this is something I can be helped with?
