All,
Exclusive use of Polar Coordinates does not tell birders who are not fluent in its use where the bird was seen. It's easy tell where you are but difficult for the novice to know what app was used and where the bird is. All birders can use street or area names, and a brief description of the actual sighting would be nice. I assume that when one posts a sighting the intent is to communicate, and a little extra effort would be appreciated.
Take care,
Bob Reiling
