DayStalkers Bigfoot Sightings Atlas
The DayStalkers Atlas is a field intelligence mapping system designed to analyze encounter reports, identify activity clusters, and assist investigators in locating probable habitat zones and movement patterns.
Using the Atlas (Desktop)
Click Historic Reports to display archived sightings.
Click User Sightings to display approved community submissions.
Click Local Reports to display regional data sources.
Click Probability Heat to visualize likelihood based on compiled scoring data.
Click Habitat Heat to display terrain based encounter probability.
Click Cluster Detection to identify groups of nearby reports.
Click Corridor Detection to identify possible travel routes between activity areas.
Click Use My GPS to center the map on your current location.
Click Proximity Scan to find nearby reports within range.
Click Clear Map to reset all active layers.
Map Controls
Use the map control in the upper right corner to switch between Street View for standard map display and Satellite View for terrain and aerial imagery.
Using the Atlas (Mobile Field Use)
The Atlas functions as a mobile field tool.
Open the Atlas in your phone browser.
Select Add to Home Screen.
Launch it like a standard app.
Tap Open Controls to access tools.
Tap View Map to collapse the panel for full screen map use.
Use GPS and Proximity Scan while in the field.
Submitting Field Sightings
Reports may be submitted directly within the Atlas control panel.
Provide general location, encounter type, description of activity, and optional GPS coordinates.
If submission fails due to connectivity, reports are stored locally and submitted automatically when connection is restored.
Map Legend and Practical Use
Historic reports
Archived sightings used to establish long term patterns. Use these to identify areas with consistent activity over time.
User sightings
Recent community submissions. Use these to detect emerging activity and current encounters.
Local reports
Region specific and localized data. Use these to refine areas of interest and confirm regional patterns.
Cluster locations
Multiple reports occurring close together. Use clusters to identify high interest zones for investigation.
Corridor links
Connections between clusters suggesting movement paths. Use corridors to track likely travel routes.
Heatmaps
Probability heat
Calculated likelihood based on compiled report data. Use this to prioritize where activity is most likely.
Habitat heat
Terrain based suitability for habitation and movement. Use this to understand where conditions support sustained presence.
Field Strategy Example
Begin with Probability Heat to identify high likelihood areas.
Overlay Habitat Heat to confirm environmental suitability.
Activate Cluster Detection to locate repeated activity zones.
Use Corridor Detection to identify potential movement paths between those zones.
Finally, use GPS and Proximity Scan in the field to investigate the nearest active locations.
Important Notes
The Atlas is a research and investigative tool.
Reported sightings do not constitute verified biological evidence.
Heatmaps represent probability modeling based on available data and do not confirm presence.
