**Platform**  
Android  
**App version number** , if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About):  
1.26.11

**Description of problem**  
I’m not sure if this is a bug, but I cannot see true coordinates of obscured observations from members that joined my project on the app. I’m sure that they selected the option to share the true coordinates because I can see them on the mobile browser and PC browser. The option to see them also on the app could be very useful on the field.

It’s not a bug, location access only works on the website.

If using the browser on your mobile device, you can tap on “Details” under the map of the observation, then scroll down on the pop-up and open the locaiton in either Google Maps or Open Street Map:

I’ve found that to be pretty helpful for navigating to a locaiton.
