This issue has forced me to pull the PI rollout for a third time - having no image in the category for many categories is a deal-breaker for me even though the PIs are a massive visual and code improvement with the right customisation. I'm not sure to what extent it is still accurate but the images aren't picked based on location, see :

Although long ago staff member ShareIf, mentioned that the first portable infobox images is showcased in category exhibition . But I guess the "quality" of the image might still affect it. Also, it may take some time for the cache to update, so that may be the reason for that.

Edit: Some clarification & corrections.
