Mapping
If you zoom in too quickly, Google Maps may claim that it does not have the needed maps. Zoom back out, wait a few seconds to allow maps to load in the background, and then zoom in again.
If more than one point is mapped for the marked individual, the map also displays chevrons to guide you from the first sighting (shown as a green icon) to each subsequent sighting over time. The chevrons do NOT represent a path of travel, just a sequential link across time.

"Knowledge is key to growth and understanding. In order to protect and further appreciate these beautiful animals, research and analysis will develop greater insight to these barely known creatures. This applies to all wildlife that we know of, in order for our futures to be as amazing and as awe-inspiring as we know it today. It's exciting to know that a single person can also contribute to the cause." |
