This is pretty minor, but since the page isn’t public anyway, it would be nice to have the “Your Observations” map show only true locations for observations. It’s interesting to see all the places you’ve observed things scattered across the map, but right now any obscured observation (in my case, mo…

I agree with this %100, but would go one step further. I’d like to see all iNaturalist maps (Your Observations, Explore/Observations/Search) display observations at their real or obscured location based on the observation’s location permissions. So if I have permission to see the real location of an…

This exact thought was on my mind earlier. The area I tend to observe in is starting to turn into a solid block of tiles that are mostly from obscured obvservations, and it would be nice to see pins in the places where I always obscure when viewing at closer zoom levels.

I agree this would be nice but am guessing it’s just a lot more data and computation- intensive to query/display for each separate user and their own permissions, etc.

[image] Star3: Eg. If you were an admin in a project where users have given project curators permission to view private/obscurd coordinates? You already have permission to see them in the observation, but you’d be able to see them on the map too? Yes, that’s a good example. But personally, I…

This won’t be implemented until we revamp the Explore page.

Since this is a duplicate of an existing request, I’m going to close this one.
