Use Limits
Live Map is public-information awareness software. It is not for emergency response, navigation, financial decisions, legal decisions, medical decisions, or professional risk advice.
Public data only
Live Map shows source-linked public events, not certainty.
Data may be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, duplicated, or corrected by the original publisher. Verify important details with the original source.
Source Status
Provider status can be live, degraded, fallback, disabled, or unavailable. A partial feed can still show useful events while some public providers are down.
Source Links
Event cards should keep source attribution and original links visible. When a provider is unavailable, the app should say so instead of pretending coverage is complete.
Free Data Rule
The default project uses APIs, feeds, downloads, RSS/Atom, GeoJSON, CSV, or official bulk datasets. Paid providers, secrets, and licensed scraping are not part of the core demo.
Status Meanings
- Live
- The provider returned usable public data recently.
- Degraded
- The provider responded only partially, slowly, or with stale data.
- Fallback
- The app is using a simpler backup path so the map remains useful.
- Disabled
- The provider is intentionally off, usually because it is planned, gated, or not safe for default use.
- Unavailable
- The provider failed or returned no usable data for this refresh.
