This is awesome! I live down the road from &quot;The Lightning Field&quot; art installation ... Will be cool to see how accurate this is for our remote area<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.diaart.org&#x2F;sites&#x2F;main&#x2F;lightningfield" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.diaart.org&#x2F;sites&#x2F;main&#x2F;lightningfield</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Lightning_Field" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Lightning_Field</a>

I looked at blitzortung.org once because I was interested in detecting lighting while being on a boat. Especially to know the distance (the direction can be seen).<p>But a device can only measure the moment of discharge. Only in combination with other devices a position of the lightning can be established.<p>Maybe somebody wants to have a go at this. Because there are a lot of very expensive boats out there. Especially the ones with carbon masts...

Is there a way to show where detectors are located? Otherwise how to know if there is no lightning in an area or no detectors?

Where does this pull real-time lightning data from?

It took me an unpleasantly long time to figure out that this is a map of lighTning, as in the weather phenomena. Not lighting maps for rendering.
