Noticing some points locations are off

I've been noticing that when I come back into the office and look at the observations on my computer some of the observations I logged are showing up in a totally different location than the stream buffer area where they should have been logged. For example, I had a rosemallow observation and it should have been logged in the stream channel but was placed over in a parking lot about 80 feet to the east. We can change the location of spot, obviously this will not be super accurate because who knows which teasel went where! HAHA! But, we can edit the observation and at least place it back to somewhere within the stream and buffer area.so that it is closer and more realistic to where the app should have logged it to begin with. It is best to use a computer to edit your observations. I cannot edit your individual observations, only you can.

Right now I'm not sure what is causing some of the points to log so far away. It might have to do with how fast you enter data. We might need to sit and wait on the observation screen and verify on the map each time to make sure the app didn't throw us onto a building or somewhere we aren't actually standing. I will troubleshoot some in the field tomorrow in regards to this and keep you all updated!

THANK YOU! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
