I’m guessing there is a critical density below which the system can’t function, or at least can’t triangulate a source. Although from what I’ve read recently they’re struggling to do that even with high density.
I never found the list… anyone else? Feels like Wired is holding out on us ;-)

Caught me ;-)
Still looks like they are trying not to get sued though. Map is so low rez I had to click on one to figure out it was in Salinas and not in San Jose.
