发布地点记录中的纬度/经度数据时应包含空间不确定性、使用的基准以及数据获取方式的说明。谷歌地球可用于定位采样点，但应检查卫星图像的基本地理配准。贝伦登克尔山 (Mt Bellenden Ker) 是澳大利亚热带北昆士兰州一个具有重要科学意义的采集地，对一组鲜为人知的地标重新贴标签的事件被记录为检查没有适当准确的纬度/经度数据的记录的重要性的一个例子。
Latitude/longitude data in locality records should be published with spatial uncertainties, datum(s) used and indications of how the data were obtained. Google Earth can be used to locate sampling sites, but the underlying georegistration of the satellite image should be checked. The little-known relabelling of a set of landmarks on Mt Bellenden Ker, a scientifically important collecting locality in tropical north Queensland, Australia, is documented as an example of the importance of checking records not accompanied by appropriately accurate latitude/longitude data.
