Limitations & privacy

County centroids are not household locations. Routes exclude live traffic and do not use verified park entrances. Local recreation ownership, hours, amenities, and public access are unverified. Location and search inputs are not stored by this site; requested coordinates are sent to public geocoding or routing services.
