I know that observations of threatened species get their true location obsecured, and are displayed to other users at another place (picked from a rectangle buffer around the true location). I think this is a great feature and a great way of protecting sensitive species’ locations. What I dont find…

When I check mine, if you’re on the “Observations” page, then they’re obscured. But when I click through to the individual observation page, they show up in the correct place.

this request is very similar to https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/view-true-locations-on-maps-for-observations-with-trusted-hidden-coordinates/2568 , i think. in that discussion, the word from iNat staff was: [image] View true locations on maps for observations with trusted hidden coordinates Updat…

I’m a bit annoyed by this as well. Many of my observations of threatened species are near the coast, so often the obscured location is shown somewhere in the middle of the Indian ocean. This, however, is a small problem and is justified.

But even on the individual observation page, there is a point in the correct place, but another on the “alternative location” place (both for the same observation)

Yes, the request is almost the same, although the author of that post has all of his observations obscured on his own initiative. From what I understood from that post, do have observations displayed on their true location for the owner and on their obscured ones for the rest of the users is too ha…

[image] abdullateefismail: This, however, is a small problem and is justified. Yes, I know it is quite a small issue, with a quite good motive behind it. I just dont like seeing my observations in places I’ve never visited or even in the middle of the ocean
