Let me know if there is something about the submission flow which has been frustrating, or if you have an idea for how it can be improved.

Spots with information provide more value to the community, so our UX focuses on ways the user can bring more info to spots. For what it’s worth, it is 3x total clicks to report an unknown spot (+ button, get loc button, submit button). That said, we’re always open to suggestions to improve the UX.

sorry link got dropped, there are several other paint jobs, one of which fits you description! Checking the blade count is a good way to rule out part police with their transponder off, as all of these have 3 blades and park police have 2 or 4.

We see that yeah, nothing we’ve heard about so far. We’re here and on telegram mostly for interaction, and we’re copterspotter.com for submitting spots and browsing our data!
