Field notes
Setup is described as a one-line Terminal install, followed by a browser-based configuration page opened from a phone or laptop on the local network. The planner lets visitors compare storage requirements before downloading; its displayed catalog includes 312 map regions and six AI models. The site says downloads can continue while the progress page is closed and that the service starts automatically after a power cut.
