Description

When browsing near Kazakhstan, I see a lot of maps that are not really there... this seems like an API issue, or maybe somehow they accidentally zoomed their map around without placing any images, so they got off-site...

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the map positioning logic, particularly the API endpoint that returns map locations, and check if there are missing images causing offsets. Look into the controller and model for map placement.
