Implement more filtering tools for Casual grade observations

[bouteloua]

@lotteryd

Most of “Unknown location” subset can be removed?

Just crossposting some answers to these for easier findability in the future:

@pisum

i think you are supposed to be able to mappable=false to achieve what you’re trying to do, but it seems to behave inconsistently for me. there’s also geo=false, which seems to also pick up observations with private locations, but it seems to behave more consistently – so that may be the best filter unless someone can find something better.

maybe the addition of geoprivacy=open might help exclude observations with private locations.

UPDATE: sorry, i think i read your original request backward… so geo=true should probably do what you’re looking for (to find observations that do have a location).

@carrieseltzer

You can use the parameter geo=false . However, by default this includes observations with geoprivacy=private and/or taxon_geoprivacy=private . So you also need to append verifiable=false and I think that will get you all the observations truly missing locations.

Casual Unknowns, excluding some broken elements, that are not captive

(looks like it’s just a couple hundred difference from the bounding box links above)
