I have been looking for a way to find pickleball courts near my house. This sounded like the perfect tool! I tried "pickle ball court" using the maximum polygon size (actually just slightly under) and... it didn't work. It gave me a red dashed square around a driveway to what looked like a farm.

Cool concept though.

What happens when you search on google maps?

Thanks for the feedback. A dashed square marks the area you select for detection, and once it’s finished, the results will appear. You might want to give it another try because I just tested it on the pickleball courts at 1108 S Harvey Ave, Oklahoma City, OK, 73109, ( https://www.useful-ai-tools.com/tools/satellite-analysis-dem... ) on Ultra High and it detected all of them.
