Field spotting guide

Miniminopine

A field guide for spotting cell towers dressed as fake trees — log pins, rate disguises, build your grove.

What you can do

Miniminopine helps you document camouflaged towers in the wild — from suburban palm props to desert cactus wraps.

Map the camouflage

Drop GPS pins when you spot pine masts, palm props, cactus wraps, or other tower disguises. Each sighting lives on a forest-toned map you can revisit anytime.

Hunt map with tower pins — Hunt canvas — pins for every unmasked tower.

Score the convincing act

Rate every fake tree from 1 to 10, note the tells that gave it away, and watch your Hall of Shame fill with parking-lot Christmas trees.

Spot detail with convincing score — Spot detail — verdict labels and notes.

Archive every unmasking

Filter the grove by disguise type, search titles and notes, and open detail cards with coordinates and shareable spotting cards.

Grove archive list — Grove archive — every fake tree you have unmasked.

Miniminopine is built for local field spotting. The app stores your tower sightings, notes, scores, and preferences on your device. We do not operate user accounts, cloud sync, or advertising networks inside the app.

When you log a spotting, the app may use your location to attach GPS coordinates to that entry. Location is used only while you are using the app to place or refine pins on the map. You can control location access in iOS Settings.

Photos or share cards you create stay under your control through standard iOS sharing. We do not receive those exports unless you send them to someone yourself.

Diagnostic data is limited to what Apple provides through standard App Store distribution. We do not sell personal information.

If you delete the app, locally stored spotting data is removed with it unless you have backed up your device through iCloud or Finder.

We may update this policy when the app changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
