Field notes
The interface offers place search, optional current-location search, and radius settings from 10 to 500 km, with separate filters for eras, event types, and figures. The page says it draws from Wikidata and Wikipedia and uses Wikipedia language-edition counts as a rough fame proxy. It also cautions that distances are straight-line and that dates, locations, and coverage depend on source records.
