Significant error in the cell coverage maps as presented by Susan Simpson and Rabia Chaudry on "The Docket".

Now that we have the actual cell tower locations / addresses from the MPIA Police file (Thanks SSR et. al.), I decided to plot them in Google Earth and then overlay the coverage maps that the Undisclosed people posted on their appearance on "The Docket".

If you don't recall, the claim here was that these coverage maps were recreations of the actual trial exhibit.

I think u/whitenoise2323 did the overlaying of this first one onto the google maps in this thread, so credit to him for trying.

Here is Overlay #1 with roads to check alignment.

Here is Overlay #1 without roads.

As you can see, however, the coverage areas compared to the actual physical cell tower locations is extremely flawed. L698, L653 and L654 for example, were confirmed to be plotted in the right location (within 50m or so) by finding the actual physical tower, and yet we can see that in the case of L654, for example, the mapping is ~1.4km out.

I thought that u/whitenoise2323 may have messed up his or her alignment on their google map underlay, so I went back to the docket video, took a screenshot and did it myself from scratch.

Here is Overlay #2 with roads to check alignment.

Here is Overlay #2 without roads.

As you can see, the alignment certainly is different, but we're equally if not more screwy on this one. For example, the Social Security Building tower L651 is ~1.7km out.

So unless there's something I'm missing here (/u/csom_1991?), I think we can safely chuck any interpretation of those overlays into the garbage.

There was a third map they presented briefly at the start of the episode, so I figured I'd see if third time was the charm on this.

Here is Overlay #3 with roads to check alignment.

Here is Overlay #3 without roads.

This one looks a little better than the other two, however it's not without issue. L651, for example, is still ~.9km out.

So what did we learn?

1. It appears that either Waranowitz or Undisclosed has no idea how to make a map.

2. The significant discrepancy between maps as presented by Susan Simpson and Rabia as a recreation of the same trial exhibit suggests an issue with Undisclosed. Junk data on a map from Waranowitz at the trial should produce maps that are junky in the same way no matter how many different overlays you make from it.

3. Without the original source material, we're still going to be taking our best guesses at these coverage maps, as the Undisclosed released maps remain an untrustworthy source.
