I also used this feature heavily when using the desktop web uploader and it’s really annoying that it no longer works. I don’t have any GPS logging in my cameras. All of my bird observations are GPS tracked in eBird, and when I go to upload photos to iNat, I used to simply grab the GPS coordinates of the eBird hotspot and use that to update the location in the iNat upload process. A lot of my observations don’t align to a named place that can be searched (ex: a random roadside in rural Mexico, or a dive site miles offshore in Papua New Guinea), so I now have to waste time scrolling around on the map in iNat to find the correct location, even though I already have the GPS coordinates from eBird (I also grab GPS coordinates for unfamiliar dive sites via a dummy checklist in eBird). Please bring this back!!!
