When I view a taxon page such as Triteleia laxa the distribution map shows the aggregate of Casual observations plus RG and other Verifiable observations. For example, all the observations in Europe and on the east coast of the United States for this taxon are Casual/Cultivated and show in the taxon…

OK, we did some rejiggering and there is now a captive observations toggle for taxon page maps: [image] So you can turn the captive/cultivated layer on and off.

For me, the taxon page shows Checklist Places, Verifiable Obs and Obs w/o Media by default. Here’s what I see when I zoom out. All the observations in the eastern US and in Europe are cultivated. [Screenshot 2020-03-20 10.36.27] The only way to hide the cultivated observations (which do all have …

Ah OK, you’re correct. We’re looking into this.

Any luck figuring this bug out? I keep tripping over it when I expand the location map for an observation to compare its location with other iNat observations for that species. In that context you don’t get the option to choose which layers to see, so all the casual observations show up as well.

Thanks! That does look better, and it’s helpful to be able to separately toggle on/off “Observations w/o Media” and “Captive/Cultivated”. One suggestion though: Would it be possible to use a paler color for “Observations w/o Media” and/or turn them off by default? Right now they’re on by default an…

[image] rupertclayton: Would it be possible to use a paler color for “Observations w/o Media” and/or turn them off by default? Right now they’re on by default and they draw the eye much more strongly than the regular RG observations. Observations w/o media shouldn’t be on by default. I just m…

Ooh, very neat. Will the colors eventually transfer over to the other maps (individual observation and ID page and such?)

As far as I know, we have no plans to do that.

If not I’d have a preference towards the captive organisms not showing on the ID maps even though I like them where they have different color. No biggie though.
