Navigate to a location

Hi, is there a way to navigate in the map to a specific lat and long? I tried entering them in the Location but that doesn’t work. I used the format <lat, -long> in decimal degrees. thx

By navigate do you mean search for a location when uploading observations? Or in Explore? You can put lat long in the uploader at the bottom of the location field below the map. Or you can edit the URL in Explore.

I wish this was easier in Explore. It’s easy to copy GPS coordinates to the clipboard from some other application. It should also be easy to paste those coordinates into Explore in some way.

Good point - I added it as an idea here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/ideas-for-a-revamped-explore-observations-search-page/8439/428
