Question 1

What is a pack?

Accepted Answer

A pack is the release unit for data. DaedalMap uses maintained, versioned packs to publish data that is processed, documented, and ready to query.

Question 2

Can I run DaedalMap myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are two public paths: use it online or install it yourself. The install path can be packaged for easier setup or run through the GitHub and manual path for deeper control.

Question 3

Should I use the hosted app or run it myself?

Accepted Answer

Use the hosted app for the fastest path in: open it, start querying, no setup. Install it yourself when you want the same engine on your own machine. The packaged install is simpler; the GitHub and manual path gives deeper control.

Question 4

Is the hosted app the same as local use?

Accepted Answer

Same engine, different operating assumptions. Hosted use optimizes for convenience and shared access. Installing it yourself optimizes for local control. The packaged install is easier; the GitHub and manual path gives deeper control.

Question 5

Is DaedalMap open source?

Accepted Answer

The core engine and runtime direction are open. The paid layer is not ownership of public data; it is the maintained operating layer around packs, freshness, packaging, hosted convenience, and support.
