If you haven’t seen the announcement, the latest Computer Vision model, released today, has over 100k taxa in it! We also made geomodel range maps for all taxa in the model available to download.

What’s grayed out? Amazonian Brazil, most of Africa, Central Australia with its mouse-like marsupials and herp diversity . . . I’m sure we have some iNatters willing to help out

Yes, or even better, if there was a way to overlay sections over Google Maps, for navigation/finding parks etc in those under-observed areas.

Great!!! 
Can we please have borrowed your programmer for our national database distribution maps? It is so necessery to have such information.
Would be happy about and looking forward to see those maps in future as well for families and subspecies.
What a gorgeous formulation!
I wonder if/how it could render up as web-native interactive/responsive SVG (e.g. d3.js)

Or whatever https://earth.nullschool.net/ is doing 
I’d love to see these maps used beyond terrestrial vertebrates (Sorry!) as we know those are the most commonly reported species worldwide. Show me where there are no spider observations! Where no one has catalogued the local mushrooms! That’s the good stuff, IMO :)
