An interactive worldwide radioactivity / radiations map made by customers of the “RadiaCode” connected products recording their local area/path automatically tagging the GPS coordinates.

Not fully scientific calibrated instruments, but interesting as a curiosity before investigating more.

Note their disclaimer advise:

Emergency and Reporting

- If you find a suspicious object that is not a naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) and it emits more than 2.0 µSv/h, immediately secure the area, limit access, and notify the competent local authority.

- If the dose rate exceeds 10.0 µSv/h, an urgent report to emergency services is mandatory. Such sources may pose an acute hazard to you and the public.

- The values mentioned above are common but may differ from the standards adopted in your country. Familiarise yourself in advance with national and regional procedures for incident response and source recovery.

Disciplines: Radiation protection, Environmental monitoring, Nuclear engineering, Public health.

Radiaverse Radiation Map compared with Safecast
Radiaverse Radiation Map	Safecast
Data source: Tracks recorded automatically with GPS tags by owners of Radiacode connected detectors. Radiacode 100 series devices use a CsI(Tl) scintillator in the 102, 103 and 110 models and a GAGG(Ce) scintillator in the 103G.	Data source: Volunteer measurements, mainly ambient dose rate, collected with the bGeigie Nano, a GPS-enabled mobile sensor used for car-borne mapping and static readings, and with the newer bGeigie Zen.
Calibration and validity: The map is described as not fully calibrated scientific data. It is a screening aid and a curiosity, not a basis for dose assessment. Radiacode devices cover 0.01 to 1000 microsievert per hour (0.01 to 400 for the 110).	Calibration and validity: Large volunteer dataset built after the 2011 Fukushima accident. A 2020 study used more than 120 million observations to estimate mean ambient dose rates in 330 cities. Instrument specifications are not given on the data page.
Spectral information: The source detectors are gamma spectrometers, so the energy spectrum can be examined on the device, for example for K-40, Th-232, Ra-226, Cs-137 or U-238. Whether the map itself exposes spectra was not confirmed.	Spectral information: The data page describes dose-rate measurements. Spectral data is not mentioned.
	Access and licence: The dataset is released under CC0, available as a full CSV file, through an API at api.safecast.org and in the AWS Registry of Open Data. The website itself is under CC BY-NC 4.0.
When to choose it: Choose it to look at recent readings from consumer spectrometer owners near a place of interest, then verify with a proper instrument.	When to choose it: Choose it when you need an open, reusable dataset, a long time series or a documented collection method for research or citation.
