How do I read the map?
Colour is the type of event; the fill is how well it is sourced. A dashed edge means the place is approximate, and a count on a badge or chip stands for several reports. Map key lists every mark.

Marks on a marker
- Amber dot
A warning, or awaiting review.
- Thin outer ring
Reported in the last hour.
- Faded fill
Older: the fill fades with age, the edge stays.
- Dashed edge
An approximate place: the point marks an area or an estimate, not where it happened. The shaded circle shows how far off it could be: up to 10 km for a district, 40 km for a region, 15 km where the place is unknown or estimated by AI.
Counts
- Group
Events too close to tell apart at this zoom. It shows the count, how many are corroborated or confirmed (a solid mark) or disputed (a half disc), and a bar of the types. Click to zoom in or list them.
- Pile
Events at exactly the same point. Zoomed in, a white disc ringed in ink shows their count, with the types' marks under it.
- Country chip
Reports that name only a country are not points. A chip such as Iran 5 carries their count and is not a place; “+N country-wide” lists the chips with no room on screen.
Time
The clock button sets how far back the map looks: 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days. It opens on 6 hours. Times show in your time zone, and an event's details also give UTC.
Questions
Why is a marker at the centre of a region?
A point is never more exact than the report behind it. When a report names only an area, the marker stands at the area's centre with a dashed edge.
Why is a report not on the map?
Events with no place that could be mapped are listed under All events, marked Not on map.
