When parsing a drop at the Cape Corinth TP for example, the circle is somewhere in the water in your program. Though the coordinates are displayed correctly in the list of finds.
Thanks to the help of Tendor I found this issue. It appears that the map callibration doesnt work well with "other" regional settings then the ones specifying decimal seperator as a period. Basically due to some bad programming practices. Yes, I am guilty

What you can notice of this bug is like Tendor said, displaced locations, but also the calibration panel rounding off numbers like the scale factor. For now you can either change your regional settings or wait for the next update. I might release it a bit earlier to support those many ppl with different regional settings.

Of all things, I neva thought of this..

Many thanks goto Tendor for having the patiences and taking alot of effort to help me find this issue.
