Elevation filter

Higher antenna tops = longer radio horizon. AMSL is the antenna top above sea level.

Structure type

Tower status

Hills & peaks

Tallest prominent natural high points (from the terrain model) — candidate node sites beyond registered towers. Click a peak to run coverage from it.

Link & route planning

Real terrain line-of-sight at 915 MHz from the offline USGS elevation model — place nodes, test links, and find the best tower hops.

RF link model (advanced) ▾

Used for line-of-sight, link-budget margin, and routing. Defaults are MeshCore-typical for 915 MHz long-haul.

Coverage rings

Optimistic line-of-sight horizon (4/3-earth, no terrain blockage). Rings drawn for the highest sites currently shown (capped). For real terrain coverage, use the Coverage button in a tower or hilltop popup.

Coverage overlay

How solid the terrain-coverage heat map is over the map (green = strong signal → red = weak). Show a coverage, then drag to preview live. Tell me the 0–100 value you want and I'll bake it as the default.

    Data & method ▾

    Source: FCC Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) bulk database. Registered structures only (generally >200 ft AGL or near airports) — which is the population that matters for long-haul. Frequency/licence overlay (FCC ULS) is planned for phase 2.
