I’m trying to add either a point of interest or a one-off observation - I want to record where we find cat scat - if I go on to Quick Actions then I saw something of interest a map comes up of the project area, but not the traplines, even though I’ve got project lines ticked, so I can’t click on the map for a location. So using the nearest trap is good enough, but whern I manually enter the co-ordinates of the nearest trap it says the location is out of bounds - what am I doing wrong or is there an easy way of doing this?
@taiko1978 I haven’t seen that particular trap coordinates error before, it sounds frustrating!
I assume that you’re copy/pasting the location coordinates from within TrapNZ which should rule out any issues around coordinate system mismatches (NZMG vs NZTM, for instance).
The first thing I’d check, given it said ‘out of bounds’, is whether all trap lines are fully inside the project boundary as drawn on the home page. It’s common for projects to add traplines over time, but the project boundary polygon doesn’t always get updated to match! If you think this might be the problem, the instructions to edit the project boundaries are here: Editing your project’s boundaries | Trap.NZ Help & User guides
Otherwise, have you tried adding the locations via the app as a workaround? It’s a bit slower if you’ve got a backlog of data that you need to enter, but it may be easier to get the exact location you wanted for individual finds.
