:: RadiaMaps - F.A.Q. (Frequently Accessed Queries) ::

Q: What is RadiaMaps?

A: RadiaMaps is a crowdsourced, cyberpunk-themed global radiation map ☢️. Data Agents (like you!) upload readings from devices like RadiaCode, and the system processes this data to display aggregated radiation levels across the Grid (the map).

Q: How accurate is the map data?

A: The map displays aggregated data from user uploads. Accuracy depends on the quality, density, and calibration of the source data provided by users. It's a visualization tool, not a substitute for official safety assessments. Always consult official sources for safety-critical information⚠️.

Q: Some of my readings are missing from the map?

A: Readings taking at over 100mph are filtered from the Hexagon averaging algorythm. All updloaded readings are saved and can be viewed by selecting "ALL READINGS". "ALL READINGS" will display only all of YOUR readings when logged in.

Q: Are User Accounts available?

A: Access credentials subsystem status: ONLINE! We are actively developing a user account system. This will allow Data Agents to manage their uploads, track personal statistics, and control sharing settings.

Q: Why are some features missing or limited? (e.g., viewing specific user paths)

A: System Directive: Maximum Privacy 🔒. In this current version, many features that would involve viewing potentially identifiable user data (like exact, individual travel paths linked to a source file) are intentionally unavailable. Our priority is protecting user privacy until robust account management and sharing controls are deployed. Feature implants are pending the account system activation.

Q: Can I see my own detailed reports?

A: Affirmative. The user account system is designed to give you access to your own uploaded data streams and detailed readings. You'll be able to review your contributions to the Grid.

Q: Will I be able to control sharing of my individual readings?

A: Core Protocol: User Control. Yes. When accounts are activated, Data Agents will have granular control over whether their *individual* reading points (specific location + time + reading) are shared publicly or kept private to their account. This is to maximize individual privacy choices.

Q: If I choose *not* to share my individual reports later, is my data still used?

A: Affirmative, for aggregation 📊. All valid, uploaded data is *always* used (anonymously) to calculate the *aggregated average* dose information displayed in the map's hexagons. Your sharing settings (once available) will control the visibility of your *specific, individual data points*, not whether your data contributes anonymously to the overall map averages.

Q: Where is the best place to ask questions, report bugs, or request features?

A: The primary communication hub is our Discord server! Join the other Data Agents, connect with the devs, report system anomalies (bugs) 🐛, and submit requests for feature implants (feature requests).

Q: Is my uploaded data private? How is it used?

A: Please review our Privacy Policy for full details. Key points: We do not sell your personal data or raw uploads. All valid uploaded data contributes anonymously to the public aggregated map hexagons 🗺️. Personal contol over data shared is being expanded on regularly.
