BUG in Prime and CMX that needs to be communicated to the customers
It is a known problem that the buildings appear to be placed in the middle of the ocean in Cisco Prime (and CMX) after an export from MazeMap. The customers should be made aware of this in advance so that they don't get surprised when they inevitably see it for them selves.
BUT! It does not have any practical consequence other than being confusing when they are using Prime/CMX. As you can see from the screenshots below, it the markers should still be there (and accurate), it's just that the maps in the tools don't reflect the positioning that is given through the GPS markers.
The customer should therefore be able to place out access points on the floor plans as intended, and see that clients get correct positions afterwards, even though it may look like the buildings are in the middle of the ocean in the Cisco tools.
