- The homepage names Ghostty, kitty, and WezTerm as tested terminals, and notes weaker satellite-image rendering in several others.
Field notes
The page documents mouse and keyboard-style map interactions, including scroll zoom at the cursor, drag with inertia, double-click, and box zoom. It says MapLibre filters, zoom ranges, and expressions are evaluated, and distinguishes satellite imagery support by terminal: the kitty graphics protocol is used where available, while some other terminals show blockier cells.
