While running this script, occ_search retrieves me occurrences only from outside defined geometry but none from within
Thanks for this feedback @Surya
I can replicate what you get. Not sure what’s going on here. I’ll test with some other queries to see what the problem might be.
@sckott, do you already know what is causing this problem and have a solution for me?
I’ve reported it to GBIF, there appears to be something wrong with their WKT parsing, we’ll see what they say
See also https://github.com/ropensci/spocc/issues/187 in the spocc package, probably the same issue
