Field notes

The controls expose observer height in meters, feet, or amot, alongside tefach-length choices and an open-horizon model. Map controls include a draggable pin and fine coordinate steps; the page cautions that those steps do not increase map accuracy. It also distinguishes angular relationships and traditional symbolism from prediction, and labels its stated ±1′ sensitivity as something other than total uncertainty.
