observer map could show 'amount of coverage' #97

The map showing 'observer ranges' is now populated enough that it's difficult to tell how many observers are looking at which parts of the sky.

So I suggest it'd be nice to have counts for how many observers can see which sky segments, so we could tell if the little bit near the southern tip of Chile is observed by zero or six observers. Perhaps also with a 'ring' plotted on the ground to see where exactly receivers could be hosted to cover low-count patches.

This may help to encourage people to host receivers for their area, if they knew they had a high chance of helping.

Thanks

@setharnold - yes. I was the author of that and it was ok, as you said, when we only had a few stations. I agree that we should change the methodology. BTW: You can "click" on a station and see it's individual coverage - in case you didn't try that. More later after some coding.
