My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

Viewshed of the entire #PacificCrestTrail. A viewshed is the unobstructed area you can see standing at a given location. A vista, you probably have expansive views. The bottom of a canyon, maybe not so much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmY2... There's one for the #JohnMuirTrail, too! #ParkChat

Each hex is keyed to the max Z value in US elevation it's over. I'm doing another on where they are given the average elevation value instead of max to see how it comes out. #arcgispro #b3d
