Anywhere else I've tried is fine, but not Japan. --- erminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Invalid Region <center:+46.09007935, +29.51027020 span:+178.83185666, +450.00000000>' Title Comments Funny, any time I put a Japanese location in the Location Map I get an error.

They are indeed positive values in Japan, but I think if you add the +, it'll cause the error. It should handle a - for locations where appropriate, but otherwise assumes it's a positive value.

Wonder if iOS maps are doing something weird - I heard their Japan mapping data isn't up to speed yet...

But it's odd that it's not working...it's a simple latitude/longitude pair. That should be easy enough to plot on a map. Have you tried any positive/positive pairs outside of Japan as a test?

It could indeed be a problem related to Japan itself. Have you tried other points in Japan...east to west, north to south? Comments Well, that narrows things down then I think!

AppOne buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 348 Reg: Apr 03, 2012 London 13,980	11/02/12 11:51 PM (13 years ago) Yes I've tried multiple Japanese locations - although not as systematically - so will try. Will also try other points in Asia. Comments Yes I've tried multiple Japanese locations - although not as systematically - so will try. Will also try other points in Asia.

I'll freak out if we spend forever trying to find something iOS broke. LOL. Will post here after @AppOneBeta and we get it sleuthed out.
