Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.): I made a place ânat mountainâ years ago to encompass a mountain I do a lot of observations on. On Nov 23, 2023 it was still working fine, it would pop up as a place in the above screenshot window. Today, it is no longer showing and seems to be gone. As you can see even typing it word for word, will not make it show up. I had to make a bubble (see todayâs uploads as âjackson countyâ, vs on Nov 23, the place Nat Mountain)
itâs possible this has to do with the way the new interface pre-filters for stuff depending on inputs (or location of the device?), and maybe the iNat staff can tweak those to produce different results. but if not, iâm guessing this is just the way the new interface works, and iNat staff would have little control over what it returns (short of switching back to the old interface).

that said, if youâre just using the same place all the time, then you can always pin the location, and then select it from your pinned location list in the future.
Thanks pisum; even uploading from within the place boundaries it doesnât show up. So it isnât a ânearby locationâ sort of auto-selecting.
It also wonât even give me local cities anymore, which is frustrating. I ended up finally getting it to give me âhuntsville, alâ and then panned and zoomed from there. Woodville, Pleasant Groves (not grove-without-an-s by Birmingham) donât show up either. So itâs weird that cities and towns have disappeared as well. Regular google maps still has those, but iNatâs google map does not.
I guess Iâll have to play with making a pinned location. Yay work-arounds!
Blandair Regional Park in Howard County Maryland was in my locations two weeks ago and it is now missing. Typing word for word does NOT make it re-appear. The solution does not work because the iNat developers changed the interface. Does this mean many of my other frequently used places are missing from the location search now? Can they switch the interface back?
as with sungaramyâs Nat Mountain example, your place wonât appear in the autocomplete drop-down list, but if you type it in and press enter, the search box will still find the location:
