As indicated in our earlier post, we will ensure that the same degree of confidentiality is maintained in respect of findspots. For existing records, the location shown by the pin on the map will be taken from the public 'Findspot' field, not the hidden 'Parish' or 'Grid Reference' fields. To illustrate this, the example below has 'Near Rugby' in the public Findspot field, so the software picks up Rugby and places the pin there. The 'Parish', and 'Grid Reference' fields remain hidden.
You will see from the two images that switching between 'Gallery' (i.e. Record) view and 'Map' view is a one-click toggle in either direction.
We are increasingly confident about the detail of how the new UKDFD will work, so if there are any questions or concerns you have, please feel free to post them on this thread. We do not yet have a close idea of the launch date, as we cannot be sure what problems will arise in testing.
