This is my project and someone pointed out that it might be good to jitter the points by some set amount to help with privacy concerns some people might have. I want to know what the ham community thinks.

At least here in the US, it’s very easy to look up someone’s location based on their callsign already, unless they’ve opted for a PO box. I don’t think jittering would affect the usefulness of the site in any major way as long as one can ascertain the general location of a node.

What does the community think? If so, how far out should the jittering me done?

    Obscuring locations makes me feel better, but as you say, it means close to nothing. I wouldn’t bother.
