Smoke Spotter: Fire Lookout のアプリ分析 10月6日

You see smoke on the horizon. Where is it? SmokeBearing answers with the same method fire lookout towers have used for a century: cross-bearings. SIGHT IT - Aim your phone at the smoke and take a bearing — true heading, GPS position and a reference photo are recorded in one tap - A bearing line is drawn on the topographic map instantly CROSS IT - Move sideways, take a second bearing, and the two lines cross - The intersection is the estimated smoke position — with an honest uncertainty fan, never a fake pinpoint - Distance from you, coordinates in decimal or DMS, ready to share READ THE WIND - Smoke drifts. The crossing point is where the smoke is now — not where the fire started - Live wind direction and speed are drawn over the map, so you can see which way the plume is running - The likely source is marked upwind of the smoke, as a zone rather than a false pinpoint WORKS ANYWHERE - No fire-data feed required: the bearing fix is measured by your phone's own compass and GPS, and works fully offline - Keep a log of every fix with photos and observation points - All data stays on your device SmokeBearing gives a rough cross-bearing estimate; error grows with distance. Always follow official emergency information for evacuation and reporting decisions. No ads, no subscription: one purchase, forever.
