Compare tool shows teardrop map marker for obscured observations

This obscured observation occurs in Wisconsin, but the random point is dropped in Illinois.

On the Compare / Suggestions tool, instead of a circle map marker, it shows as the teardrop marker, which indicates open geoprivacy.

Or maybe it’s intentional to show the teardrop marker? Not sure, but the teardrop marker indicates to me everywhere else on iNat that it’s a true location.

Here’s a link to try it out.

Made a bug report here: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/2900

Fix released, looking good to me.
