Create a map interface to claim candidate collected specimens #26

Potentially a big new feature. Considerations:

  1. Use leaflet, popups for a paged list of specimen records within which each record may be claimed
  2. Migrate to PostgreSQL?
  3. Churn into basic, flat map on public user profile as generally viewable "places I've collected"

This might be a candidate for GBIF to offer the service.

Please see an early demo on https://hungry-kalam-115a99.netlify.com/occurrences and click the map on the top right and zoom in. GBIF are close to being able to do arbitrary query mapping (e.g. collectedBy=Shorthouse*) and allowing zoom all the way in to individual records. When ready, you'll be able to use that mapping service as an overlay on your own map, add your own pop up to allow people to claim things starting with a geographic explorer.

Oh cool! Will have to explore this. Claiming specimens is a thankless, PITA task. Anything to make it more pleasurable and faster will help.
