US/India observations, only Indian ones showing on map

[thebeachcomber]

this is not a bug

go to one of the US observations, eg https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307452981, and check the accuracy value. You’ll see in that example, the value is 358.97 km. Any records with an accuracy value of 30-ish km or greater are not displayed on maps in Explore

EDIT: found the precise info:

@tiwane

The Explore page map only shows observations which are mappable, that is, with public lat/lon and a location accuracy less than the diagonal of a rectangle measuring 0.2 degrees by 0.2 degrees. This is about 31 km at the equator, about 27 km at 45 degrees latitude, and about 23 km at 80 degrees latitude. (mappable also requires a few other things, like passing quality checks.)
