        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.

          The sensors appeared to evenly distributed through most areas.

          I did think it was odd that there are none between 880 and the bay.

            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.
