Quick reference
The cheat sheet.
How big a grid to run, and what to filter for: the two decisions behind every search. Both are explained in full in the guides.
Choosing a grid size
≈ 10 credits a point| Grid | Points | Good for | Est. credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3×3 | 9 | A small town or a single suburb | ~90 |
| 5×5 | 25 | A suburb or a district | ~250 |
| 7×7 | 49 | A large city area | ~490 |
| 10×10 | 100 | Very large areas, most coverage | ~1,000 |
