1) So you're expecting to click and see a line of sight that you've seen in real life? Is it just that each point only every records the _longest_, which not be the best or most notable view? 2) As in, in a good way?

No. I'm saying that clicking near a peak was sometimes giving me views that would have required standing elsewhere. The mapping of whether I could see north or south (or neither--most of the trail on that ridgeline does not give views to the north or south) does not accurately correspond to the terrain in any fashion I can discern.

And the second part was simply noting that just because there is a theoretical line of sight doesn't mean you can actually see. The southern view I know goes to haze long before what it's showing me, the northern view is such I didn't even realize there were mountains there beyond the big one close by.

Oh, that sounds like an error on our part then. I'd really appreciate if you could paste the URL when one of those bad lines is rendered.
