Here's the second group of Places that won't appear on the animated map. In most cases they do have dates defined, but there isn't any location (ie the "Latitude" column is empty), so we don't know where to show them on the map.
The solution is to edit the Place, and add a marker to the map showing its location.
<?php
print views_embed_view("placesWithoutLocation" );
?>

If the location has already
If the location has already been labeled on a previous map, I did not include it on the "place". I didn't add a new "dot" because when click "more places", the dots overlap making each location impossible to click on.
So we have two features that conflict in practice. What to do ?
I'm guessing that the timeline feature is not used as often as the "more places".
re: Spring-cleaning #2: Places without a location
Hi Annelise,
I'd appreciate it if you could add in locations to these places. Apart from adding location information to the place, it also adds location information to the photos that are linked to that place. That will be useful for future projects.
It also helps new users who are using the "more places" map. For the places you have created, you know there are other places at the same location, and to use the "Previously at..." links to access them. But for a new user, if there's only one marker, there's no clue to them that there are other places available.

Apologies, looks like I broke them with an upgrade. Should be ok again now.
