The GPS data seems to have got screwed up. This was taken on Black Mountain on a track leadin to Barry Drive.

Hi Galah, I've had this happen once, what app/camera hardware and software were you using? Cheers Aaron.

I was using a Sony DSC HX50 with GPS enabled. It lost the signal in a couple of other places, but most positioning seems to be reasonably correct. I was also tracking my route on my phone so could probably approximately find the coordinates as the plants before and after the 2 in error are OK. Is there a way to correct the GPS data and if so, do you need lat & long or southings and eastings.

Hi Galah, I've made a change to your account, if you edit the affected sightings, you'll now see new options at the bottom of the form where you can enter in either an Easting/Northing or a Lat/Long (decimal) or Lat/Long (DMS) location value to amend these sightings. Let me know if you have any issues - Cheers.

Many years ago I found Blechnum cartilaginium growing under a log across a shallow gully around about that location. Way before GPS, unfortunately.
