Field notes
The site explains four LiDAR map views—colours, hillshade, a combined view called “Hildar,” and sky view—and gives plain-language guidance for reading them. A sample field calculation identifies 48.3 acres of flat ground on a first rise 19 feet above the river. The site says the displayed screens come from an early private version and may change before launch.
