Get a demoResults Not Matching Selected Polygon Area

I tried to scrape data using a polygon, but the results I received were unrelated to the selected area. What could be the issue, and how can I fix it? I included the json input.

I found the issue. When I used single polygon set (customGeolocation->coordinates) in coordinates array, it doesn't work for me. But when I added two polygons, it works fine. Attaching example input.json. Run url - https://console.apify.com/view/runs/sGDjvKWiPz6FCAES4

Hey,
thanks for the example. I found the issue - the scraper incorrectly sets the zoom for the area you provided, which somehow messes up the whole search. Try to manually override the zoom to 17+ and it should work correctly. Here is my run with zoom 18, feel free to use the results.

Hi,
Thank you for your help. Can I use *zoom level 18, *as a default value, for all locations in Malaysia?
Ondrej Klinovský (ondrejklinovsky)
You mean for the whole country? It is possible but very inefficient - there are lots of forests in Malaysia. Better solution would be to create your own polygons around cities and use zoom 18 there.
