Recycling-program staff screenshot a public map of alleged illegal dumping but do not record coordinates, layer names, or the map URL. What should their notes include so another analyst can re-find the place?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A screenshot without a pin is a postcard with the address torn off. Next week's analyst cannot stand in the same digital spot. Drop the coordinates, the layer, and the URL into the notes so the place is reopenable, not just pretty.
Full Explanation
Geographic evidence in OSINT notes must be reproducible. A map image alone often loses the exact view, coordinate reference, and layer that produced it. Recording coordinates, the map or layer identity, and the source URL lets another analyst return to the same location. Memory, cropped undocumented screenshots, and unsourced street-name guesses fail that test.
