Field notes
The interface lets visitors choose a location, adjust viewing height and detail, and line up the drawing by compass or by dragging when nearby electronics interfere. Its stated terrain model checks what stands between the viewer and each named place, while saved elevation data and place names support offline viewing. The page also distinguishes links rounded to about a kilometre from links containing an exact position.
