What happened to location?

Was really happy with this app but over the last few days, location data has disappeared. Not much point to it now. What happened?

Loss of functionality

Since the update the app has stopped showing the location details and the map no longer updates when zooming in despite using the refresh button (iPhone 15 iOS 18.6.2)

Can you please rectify as the app is useless otherwise.

New update

The new map isn’t as good. The pins would show what bird species it refers to so it was quick and easy whereas now you have to click and sift through each one. A quick task has now turned into a chore.
