Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
I did not know you had made observations along this road, until I made a project. LOL.
Yep, I had some email correspondence about this Phacelia this very week, and it may be Phacelia cicutaria var. hubbyi. I have a photo, but not very good and need to get another few.
(The Refugio Road project map is coming up black, even though the place shows properly.)
Yeah, I think I was camping at Refugio Beach and decided to see what was up the road. Pretty cool botanizing up there! At least for me, since I don't know my SoCal plants very well.
I had the lat and lon mixed up, and fixed the map.
After the populated part, the road eventually leads to two non-maintained roads, one straight over down the other side, and one to the east toward Santa Ynez peak. Even more neat stuff, because the roads are hardly used, but scary. I had more photos, but did not know where they were taken so I could not load them - likes this one of a mind-boggling amount of monkey flower.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)

Your map looks ok to me.
