Is there a url for easily finding observations that dont have coordinates (e.g. ones listed on iNat as “Location Unknown”)? Ditto if they are missing Place Names (or “place\_guess”)? I know the urls for Obscure/Private and Locality Accuracy, but need a systematic way to find observations that are missing coordinates. ---

Not that I’m aware of, but there’s this feature request: [https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/implement-more-filtering-tools-for-casual-grade-observations/8838](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/implement-more-filtering-tools-for-casual-grade-observations/8838) ---

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. [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?geo=false&verifiable=false](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?geo=false&verifiable=false) 1.2 million observations from over 287K user accounts… Yikes. ---

I just found a subset that may be useful: [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?reviewed=any&quality\_grade=needs\_id%2Ccasual%2Cresearch&per\_page=100&photos=true&d1=1900-01-01&nelat=0&nelng=0&swlat=0&swlng=0](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?reviewed=any&quality_grade=needs_id%2Ccasual%2Cresearch&per_page=100&photos=true&d1=1900-01-01&nelat=0&nelng=0&swlat=0&swlng=0) It pulls up not only 0,0 coordinates, but blank ones as well. (I’ve been ignoring all of those in my recent “pings” as I come across them btw) ---
