Every switch here is stored on this device only. No account, no server of
ours, nothing to sync, nothing to leak.
Routing
Travel mode
Camera avoidance
Map
Appearance
The panels, sheets and buttons. Switching between dark and light
carries the basemap with it, unless you have picked streets, terrain or satellite.
Units
Distances on screen and in the spoken directions.
Guidance
Camera warning
How early the alert and the buzz fire before a camera reads you — on a route, and in watch mode.
Places
Data & privacy
Nothing about you goes anywhere. Where you are and where you are going stay
in this tab; the only requests that leave are unlabelled map, search, camera and routing
queries to the public services in Credits, and camera tiles are cached for a week so that
the same stretch of road is not asked for twice.

About
avoidFlock
Static files. No build step, no API keys, no accounts.
Map style
Same roads, same cameras, same routing — only the picture underneath changes.
Each preview is a real tile of wherever you are looking right now.
Language
Everything avoidFlock says — on screen and out loud — follows this setting.
Voice guidance
avoidFlock speaks through the voices already installed on your device, so
nothing is downloaded and no audio leaves the phone.
Saved places
Home, work, anywhere you keep going back to, and the destinations you set
recently. All of it stays in this browser — there is nothing to sign in to and nothing to sync.
Home & work
Saved
Save a place
Saves the destination you have set. With none set, this asks
you to tap the map.
Recent
Clear recent trips
Forgets the destinations you have set. Saved places stay.
Avoid zones
A box the route has to stay out of, camera or not — a street you would
rather not be on, a checkpoint, a neighbourhood. Zones are handed to the router on every pass, reroutes included.
Your zones
Zones bind on Valhalla, the router that accepts exclusions. If it is
unreachable and the simpler fallback answers instead, that route cannot honour them and you are told so.
Report a camera
Long-press anywhere on the map to drop a pin on a camera you have seen.
Pins stay on this device; filing one at DeFlock is what puts it into OpenStreetMap, and then everyone gets it on
their next refresh.

Coordinates
–
Facing
Which way the lens points, if you could tell. Unknown is
treated as watching every direction at shorter range.
Make
Flock’s are grey poles, usually solar, with a small black
camera near the top.
No spot picked. Close this and long-press the map
where the camera is.
Opens DeFlock’s form in a new tab and copies the coordinates ready
to paste. That form is what gets the camera into OpenStreetMap; a pin on its own only warns you.
For mappers: opens the OpenStreetMap editor here. Needs an
account, and the tags are man_made=surveillance + surveillance:type=ALPR.

Offline camera packs
The cameras for an area, downloaded once and kept until you delete them —
the weekly expiry that clears ordinary cached tiles never touches a pack. With no signal the map still draws every
camera in it and still warns you about them.

Keep this area
Move the map over what you want to keep, then download.
Kept on this device
Routing itself still needs a connection: no offline router is
small enough to ship inside a page like this. A pack is the camera layer, not the map or the roads.
