Someone pointed out to me today that this awesome map hack isn't working right now :-( I had a post about it too.

Is the map current/updated regularly?

Posted by yerbasanta over 3 years ago

@yerbasanta I believe this map is always current.

Thanks @jonahevans! Do you know if such a map exists or could be created for plant observations?

Posted by yerbasanta over 3 years ago

@yerbasanta i don’t know. Though it’s easy to do a search in iNaturalist for observations of any species and view a map

This map shows inat has heavy use among folks of (likely) many skill levels but far fewer experts putting in the time to inform observations. Neat, nonetheless.
