How it works
Every position carries two times: when it was measured, and when it reached us.

02 · Two clocks
Lose signal in a tunnel and the tracker keeps measuring. It sends the backlog after, and each point keeps its true time.

Three honest states, shown by shape and word on every car.
Live
Messages arriving on time. The dot is where the car is.
Delayed
Messages late. The age is on screen, not hidden.
Offline
No messages. The map shows the last known spot and when.
04 · Order
Points are sorted by when they were measured, not when they arrived.
