User manual

The button bottom-right opens a screen where each of the species covered by the app can be enabled or disabled.
Note that these settings persist between app runs. If you see less content than expected remember to check whether you disabled all or most species.
By default all species are enabled.

The slider between the GPS and filter buttons allow you to set how old observations can be while still showing up in the map.
As with species, this setting persists between app runs so remember to check it if you aren't seeing observations you think should be there.
By default there is no age limit.

In the filter screen, above the species, there is a separate toggle for images. If enabled the map will include observations that do not have images.
By default only observations with images are shown.

The button that looks like a magnifying glass top right opens the search view.
This leverages the place names search of the Norwegian Mapping Authority to find even the smallest little hill.

The button bottom-left moves the map to your real-world position.
If you decline access to the device position, you can always change this later in the Settings app of your device.

When looking at a particularly interesting observation you may want to store it for later. Do this by tapping the heart top-right.
Your favourites can later be retrieved from the map view, again by tapping the heart top-right.
Note that the app comes preloaded with a few some personal favourites.

Can I add my own observations?
Unfortunately Artsdatabanken currently does not allow external apps to add new content.
It is possible to do so through their website Artsobservasjoner.
I added an observation but can't see it. Why not?
Artsobservasjoner typically need a day or two from submission to an observation showing up. Additionally it may need to be verified.
