Feature: Preserving map area when switching between Your observations and Explore
Description of need:
Use case: often I go to the My observations tab’s map view to see what I observed within that particular area. I’m also interested in what else was observed by the whole community in the same area, and for that, I click to the Explore tab. However, here the Map view opens with the default zoomed out state. To find the same area I was at while looking at my observations, I need to navigate the map - which is now difficult due to the high coverage of the bright red observation place marks.
Feature request details:
Consider preserving the shown map area when the user is switching between the My observations and Explore tabs. I expect this to improve the exploration experience on iNat web, since it enables users to easier view the areas in context of the user’s existing observations in that area.
