TEXT 
Adding a precise sighting is especially useful when you know the exact point of the observation but cannot work out to which predetermined location it belongs to; or for studies that require exact positions, for example when mapping nests or territories.

· Your observation gets automatically associated to the nearest existing location. It is marked by a yellow line. 
· Use Ctrl and click (Cmd on Mac) to change the locality the observation is associated to. 
· The predetermined altitude for the new location is shown on the field at the top left corner. Change altitude of observation if necessary. 
· Depending the portal, exact coordinates will only be visible to you and to administrators. 
· Change site or Center the map on the pointer, if necessary. 
· Expand/Collapse the map using the arrow at the bottom.

· To see correspondence of codes, go to [[Codes and symbols|Web interface > Codes and symbols]]. 
· If unknown, leave the default option “none” on the atlas code field. 
· Depending on the country, an atlas code is required at least part of the year for some species. If no code is selected at this stage, it will be asked again before saving the record. 
 

Check the 'singing cell' (see image below) if the individual is singing even if it is not the breeding season. 
 


'''Map tab''' 
Click on the Map tab to indicate the exact position of the observation. 

· A red marker indicates the position of the observation. 
· It is associated to the nearest existing site (indicated by a yellow line). 
· Use Ctrl and click (Cmd on Mac) to change the site the observation is associated to. 
· Depending the portal, exact coordinates will only be visible to you and to administrators. 
· [center the map on the pointer], [put the pointer at the center], or [return to site] if necessary. 
· Change altitude of observation if necessary.

Hiding your observation is useful to protect certain species or nesting sites. Note that some of the species and sites are automatically hidden at least part of the year. 
If you still consider any of the other species or sites sensitive and want to protect them, tick the option. 
 

Go to wiki section Web interface > [[Species partially hidden|Species partially hidden]] to see which species will be automatically hidden and for which part of the year.
