Field notes
The map uses a saved copy of volunteer-mapped OpenStreetMap locations and checks for a newer copy about once a day. The page cautions that the inventory may be incomplete or out of date, and that direction cones are rough indicators rather than coverage areas. It says nearby counts are calculated in the browser; only those counts and selected options go through the site's server to Claude for drafting.
