When projects first came out, I suggested some options, none of which were implemented.
(expand to full page maps, option of hybrid map, fade out the surroundings and NOT the area of interest, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: All observations first time!! etc.)

Now we dont even have a scale bar, iSpot does not remember that you prefer satellite, and more bugs.
Go look at this!
11 000 observations (today!!!) and took 3 seconds to load. -
