Semi-Automated Tree Additions

inherently the GPS from the picture will be a little off from the actual tree base. However, a user does have the option to change the GPS coordinates manually on their side before submitting the data, but this is then subject to trust that the user can do this accurately. They would do this by going in the built in app, seeing on the map where the tree was recorded, and then drag that pint to where they currently are at the base of the tree. Alternatively, the user can walk to the base of the tree before submitting, and that GPS will be recorded.

That does not really sound like a good enough approach to me. Due to the height of most trees, every photo of almost every tree will be off by 5 to 20+ meters. Because it applies to almost every single tree, the GPS correction should be on a somewhat mandatory and at the same time intuitive basis.
Otherwise I can see many (especially new) users who either don’t know about the manual tree location correction or they don’t care about it and just want to take photos or think it’s too complicated.
