Field notes
Cooee presents a text-only workflow for situations where maps or mobile data may be unavailable. The homepage says it searches changing information at query time, checks fire warnings before composing an answer, and can interpret coordinates sent from a phone’s GPS. Its stated Australian coverage includes Celsius, kilometres, 000, and sources such as Parks Victoria and OpenStreetMap. The page also supplies opt-out and help instructions, but the extract does not verify live SMS operation.
