there are actually 2 ways to filter for locations on the Explore page. the way i usually do it is to click on filters > more filters, and then input a place. that is a little more reliable, in my opinion, than using the location box next to the species box. at some point, they’re going to revamp the Explore screen, and i hope at that point, the location/place filter boxes will be merged, helping to eliminate some common confusion.
