Penguins #115

Open eightysteele opened 12 years ago

eightysteele commented 12 years ago

All Emperor Penguin records (which are supposed to be in the Antarctic) are above the Antarctic, and in the water, as opposed to on land. If you look at the points, it seems to me they are clearly offset. Search on "Aptenodytes forsteri".

Those points are correct.

The problem seems to be that CartoDB will only draw web mercator tiles as far south as 63 S. Probably related to this:

I'll ping them on on it.

Good catch.
