To quickly fix the location of an observation, select one or more observations, and automatically generate a location overlapping the locations of these observations. 1 observation selected --> take its location. 2 observations selected, or more --> disc overlapping the locations of these observat…

you may want to look at: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/interpolating-coordinates/5170 . i’ve never used this functionality myself, but it seems like it might be useful in the situation you’re describing.

Interesting. But we need to be able to choose the observations. Only the observer knows which ones have correct locations. We may have 1 observation with correct location, followed by 4 with incorrect locations, followed with 1 observation with correct location. So, for each of these 4, the locatio…

This would only be reasonably accurate if you proceeded in a straight line and the time between observations is equal. If you made 3 observations and the first and third were a mile apart, then the second would be estimated at 1/2 mile between when in fact it may only be a few feet from one or the …

[image] jeanphilippeb: Whatever the technical solution is, it is needed to first select the observations with correct locations. How do you get wrong locations in your data set? I can imagine not precise locations, but wrong ones?

How: I don’t know, it’s a fact, it comes from my smartphone. See for instance (and check the locations directly from the photos): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/35847309 https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/35847445 https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/35847448 https://www.ina…
