Sometimes an agent is not finding the nearest spot, it is going farther for some reason. The hypothesis is that it is doing so because that nearest mapped thing looks farther because it was mapped by another agent after moving to very opposite directions. For instance, let us consider two agents starting from the same point, one goes to north and another to south. Let us say the latter has mapped a goal area and the first agent has accepted a task, and it is in the very norther most area, quite close to the goal area which would be the nearest spot o submit a task. This agent will not realise that the goal mapped by the other agent is actually closer because it cannot calculate the radius of the world. In this sense, it is important to have this information and make all agents use a global coordination system like latitude and longitude.
