When I access my observations list from my dashboard a map (pinned with all of my observation locations) covers the first four (or most recent) observations. I am using Chrome and this happens on my Chromebook as well as a desktop Dell. I also use the website – no mobile devices (i.e. phone/app). S…

Mine is on Medium (Recommended) @pisum

welcome to the forum! I do not personally know how to fix your issue, but I can tell you it’s not supposed to be happening. What version of Chrome are you using?

I changed my font in my Chrome settings to Medium (Recommended) and you’re right! The map is no longer obscuring my observations. Thank you to EVERYONE – now this thread may be closed. :blush:
