Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# return lyde with iNaturalist observations with the raw latitude/longitude coordinates
df <- append_inat("observations-686514.csv", round = FALSE)

# return lyde with iNaturalist observations with the latitude/longitude coordinates rounded to the 1km grid
df <- append_inat("observations-686514.csv", round = TRUE)
} # }
