How PNTMAP™ compares
Many publicly accessible interference maps rely on third-party or community-sourced ADS-B data and are not designed to provide a UK-sovereign, contractable evidence service. PNTMAP™ is being built specifically for that requirement.
PNTMAP is an intelligence and situational-awareness service. It is not an authorised navigation source and must not be used as the sole basis for flight planning, navigation or aviation safety decisions.
Status of this page
No comparison matrix is published yet. Publishing one requires assessing each named source against each criterion with a dated, citable note for every cell; until that work is done and reviewable, this page publishes the criteria only. We will not characterise another operator's service from inference.
Evaluation criteria
- Data provenance
Whether the underlying observations come from receivers the operator owns and controls, or from aggregated third-party and community feeds.
- Sovereignty of processing
Where the data is processed and stored, and under which jurisdiction the operator is accountable.
- Contractability
Whether the source can be contracted with, with defined delivery, revision and support obligations.
- Evidence format
Whether individual events are published as permanent, citable records with sample size, baseline and confidence attached.
- Methodology transparency
Whether detection parameters are published at parameter level and versioned.
- Verifiability
Whether records carry cryptographic provenance a third party can check independently.
- RF corroboration
Whether GNSS-band RF measurement is available to corroborate ADS-B-derived anomalies.
- Coverage honesty
Whether unmonitored airspace is clearly distinguished from airspace observed and found nominal.
- Latency
Time from observation to a published or delivered record.
- Historical access
Depth and format of retrospective access to past events.
