The report a sighting page allow the user to use the map widget to set the
location of the sighting. However there is no "use my location" feature that I
could see. This is a "must have" IMHO, as most people will be using a photo
taken pretty close to where they live/are. Having to zoom the map of all
Australia down to a suburb is tiresome.
The input box labelled "Type in a description of the location" is actually an
address lookup feature but this is badly implemented and completely NOT obvious
(I thought it was a description field that is set to the DwC record). The ">>"
button actually does the address lookup but this is far too subtle.
Also, there are 10 buttons, 4 input boxes and 2 drop-downs on this widget -
overkill and leads to poor usability. The map widget needs to be streamlined
and simplified.
Lastly, remove the top "Submit a sighting button", the one at the bottom is
enough (we don't need 2 identical buttons on the page).
