@neil I got an mg5 a year ago - would definitely recommend. It has a screen for radio and you can connect it to android auto but apart from that it's all physical knobs and buttons and as far as I can tell it's got no internet connection internally.

It's here! All power assets are now live on my GB Renewables Map ⚡

That's right, it's not just wind farms any more. Now you can see live and historic data for gas power plants, nuclear, grid batteries, biomass, pumped hydro and even a bit of solar.

Wind farms are still the default for now, though you can enable as many or as few of the other fuel types and your selection will be remembered when you come back to the website.

It's already live so go play for yourself:

@slowe I wonder if there's another step before this where you could load the inner boxes, ie the biggest box that is completely within the feature. That way you would only need to check if it was near the boundary.

Blog post: "Find my area" https://open-innovations.org/blog/2026-01-07-find-my-area in which I go into some of my thinking to make a tool to find which (UK) area you are in https://open-innovations.org/projects/find-my-area/
Find my area

A privacy-preserving tool that works out which UK region, county, local authority, constituency or ward you are in
