A little context goes a long way.
Is there an InstaCarta APK or Play Store app?
No. This website does not offer a native Android package or store listing. Its local demo runs in the browser.
Does the demo access my location?
No. It uses predefined fictional geometry and does not request device geolocation or send measurements to a server.
