New custom feature to search & explore

Hi,
I recently discovered that iNaturalist has introduced a new search feature that I find very useful. The feature is great for quickly exploring any area of the iNaturalist database on the fly. The new search feature allows you to draw an area (rectangle or circle) on the map, and iNaturalist will return all observations for that area.

Here are three ways to get to the feature depending on where you start.
Explore: Just hit the Map button and you are there (try the orange rectangle or circle search buttons).
Your Observations: Select the Map view and you are ready to go.
Projects: Click on Observations, then the Map view, followed by the Search button.

Follow this link for more details.

Enjoy exploring your favourite spots with the new custom-area feature!
