Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026 It's easy to miss if you look at the lower left, because it's at the lower right. 120
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Of course, to do the task with a compass, I'd need Google Maps to give me a scale bar. Cloud Sonnet 4.6 is now gaslighting me, telling me that there is ALWAYS a scale bar visible in the lower left corner of a Google Map but it's "easy to miss." 100
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026All told, I'd have done better with printout from Gmaps, a compass, and a pencil. 130
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Claude Sonnet 4.6 was the best in that it didn't give me false/misleading information, but it could neither make the map with the circles around the main location, nor give me easy instructions to do so. 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026In summary: most of the models were not able to find the location information that I already had obtained in 2-3 minutes of web-searching. Models that *could* make a map with the requested circles around the main location placed the three other locations more-or-less randomly. 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Claude Sonnet 4.6 gave neatly-formatted table with 4 CORRECT sets of lats and longs. It offered links to the main location in other map services, and said I could manually add the other lats and lons. Only one service could draw the circles but it did not support manual input of lat/lon points 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026GPT 5.6 Terra gave me a map with three of the locations completely wrong. 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Gemma told me it can't make a map, and volunteered coordinates for the one obvious location, and asked for more info on the others. (I, a mere human, was able to get the coordinates of those two locations on the first pages of google results for the names I gave Gemma.) 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Chat GPT-5.6 Luna got everything correct except for one of the locations. gpt-oss told me it can't make maps but offered to give me the coordinates of the locations. (Couldn't give me what I wanted so I did not proceed.) 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Chat GPT-5.4 mini requested more info a about two of the locations, then gave me this strange ASCII picture that did not have the locations placed in correct relation to each other, and drew one of the circles so that it did not include the location it was supposed to be centered on. 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Claude Haiku 4.5 said it can't make pictures, and gave a mix of right and wrong coordinates, and claimed it would be possible to do the circles in Google Maps or Open Maps. It offered more detailed instructions. I declined. 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Mistral Small 4 gave me a map of the region with 3 of the four the locations scattered about randomly. 110
Space Coast Talon @brashtech.bsky.social · 03/10/2026So every once in a while I try AI so that I know what I'm missing out on. I asked the AIs in the Duck Duck Go browser to make me a map showing four different locations and circles of specified radius about one of the locations. 160
