How we check

Every layer was fetched by the same code our exports use, on a test site inside its coverage area, and returned features. Our hand-picked layers went through a full test export; the rest had a test fetch on a ~300 m site. Each layer's details say which.

Terms are copied from the publisher, and we leave out layers whose terms limit commercial use. A check is a point in time, not live monitoring: if a service is down, your export says which layer is missing. Public GIS data is not a survey.
