Is there any way to add extra layers (overlays) to the maps on iNaturalist?
For example, to add Ecoregions to a Taxon Page Map.
it’s probably(?) possible to create a browser extension that would replace the Google basemap tiles with basemap tiles of your choosing… or something like that. even if someone coded that though, the best option is probably still just to create a map in your own preferred GIS tool. even if you’ve never done it before, once you do a it a few times, hopefully you find it’s really not that hard. and once you’ve saved a map that you like, you could use it as a template for other maps. suppose, for example, you really like the ecoregion map that i made in the tutorial. since that map is published, you could just take it and mix in things that you want and remove things that you don’t want.
(if you read the tutorial and try unsuccessfully to make your own map, let me know, and maybe there’s something can be described differently to make it more accessible to more people.)
