- Worth noticing
- The map separates parks, beaches, viewpoints, and street ends, and describes land-blocked sightlines.
Field notes
The interface lets users set a starting point and driving range, while preserving spots they add or remove manually. Its viewing guide describes shaded water as the area visible from a park out to about 2½ miles, with land blocking some sightlines, and says binoculars may be needed past one mile. The extracted page showed sightings still loading, so live coverage could not be confirmed.
