The changing scales and meaning while zooming in and out makes it hard to derive conclusion from these measurements.
Sometimes it looks like somebody just used a more sensitive or uncalibrated device or is carrying a nuclear warhead around during an entire route of measuring.
> Radiaverse turns those tracks into one shared map, with the places worth knowing about described by the people who found them.
This Claude sentence would be greatly improved by deleting everything after the comma. That clause adds nothing informationally and in some sense is using a very weird definition of describe and found.

Curious as to why Germany seems to be the only large country with almost full coverage.
If all the data is crowdsourced it’s probably the German Atom-Angst
Any more affordable alternatives to the radiacode scintillator devices?

That's not a radiation map of Australia ( https://radiaverse.com/country/au#2.82/-27.05/133.28 )
This is a radiation map of Australia: https://www.ga.gov.au/bigobj/GA13928.pdf ( gridded data available for d/load )
The first being a very few submitted tracks of handheld click counters with limited accuracy and no reporting of the peaks across the breadth of gamma spectrum; the second being a decades long high resolution 256 channel 40 litre crystal pack calibrated, normalised, geophysical survey of the entire continent.
