Maps are sometimes used by foragers to find new locations or share spots that would deserve attention. Using maps should always be done keeping in mind that some foraging places may not be suitable for publicity. Whether you search for new locations or want to share a spot, keep in mind the following:
- they may be private and the owner has given no permission,
- this may be a protected area or endangered species,
- the place is fragile and would benefit to stay away from the crowds.
