Where the data comes from
Every place on the map comes from a public source, and its page says which. Most come from Wikidata, the free database behind Wikipedia, where volunteers record where a film or a series was shot. Others come from the production's own Wikipedia article, or from a newspaper or a film office, and these are labelled per Wikipedia or with the publisher's name, so you can always see how strong a claim is.
Nothing is guessed or made up. A film that Wikidata records only as shot in Morocco gets no dot in the middle of Morocco: it is listed on the country's page instead. Where a Wikipedia article describes a scene, its sentence is quoted word for word, with a link to the article.
Games, anime and manga are a different claim
A video game is rendered and an anime or a manga is drawn, so none of them was filmed anywhere. They are placed where their story happens, and their pages always say set in, never filmed in.
What is missing, and how to help
The map covers productions well enough known to have a Wikipedia article in several languages, so many smaller films are not on it yet, and some countries are better recorded than others. If a place you know is missing or wrong, here is how to add it: it appears on the map at the next update. Every update is listed under what has changed.
