Cannot see own observations with obscured location

Description of problem:

When I open the “Your Observations” page in map mode and zoom in to an area where I want to see all my own observations, I expect to indeed see all my observations, regardless of their location settings.

There can be many scenarios where this is needed, such as:

  • Wanting to see observations around my home
  • Making a report for a remote area I am documenting for a private project
  • Filtering for a specific species to see where exactly I have observed it

For privacy reasons, such observations might have their location obscured, though evidently I can still see the location details when opening each observation page.

Unfortunately such observations do not show up on the map at all, because their location is obscured.

Expected behaviour:

Whenever using the map, show the exact location of the observations where the observer is the same as the user that is currently logged in.
