Navigation that routes around automated licence-plate readers.
What changed
One camera geometry, everywhere. The map cones, the "N cameras can see this
route" count, and the server's routing had quietly drifted to three different
field-of-view shapes. As of this release they are all the same 60 m / 45°
wedge — the exact geometry the routing graph is built with (and the geometry
the exposure study scores against).
Concretely: the map now draws the wedge the router actually avoided, and the
exposure count is measured against that same wedge. What you see, what gets
counted, and what the route was planned around finally agree. A single constant
(TramesGeometry) is the source of truth, so they can't drift apart again.
On screen the cones are a little smaller than the previous build, because 60 m
is the real routing radius rather than a display-only pick. The exposure count's
radius also moved from 40 m to 60 m, so on some routes it will report marginally
more cameras — correctly, since those readers fall inside the wedge the router
treats as seeing you.
This is a client-side alignment only; the routing graph and the research
analysis were already at 60 m / 45° and are unchanged.

⚠️ Read this before you trust the build
This APK is signed with the public Android debug key (CN=Android Debug,
the well-known keystores/debug.keystore, password android).
That key is not secret. Anyone can build a modified APK signed with the
identical key, and Android will accept it as an update to this app. The
signature proves nothing about who built it.
For a tool whose users are specifically trying to avoid being tracked, that is
a real weakness and not a formality. Until a proper release key exists:
- Verify the SHA-256 above against a build you make yourself, or
- Build from source:
./setup-resources.sh && cd client && ./trames-build.sh
