About EarthMap

Disclaimer

EarthMap shows satellite imagery for information only. Scenes can be late or incomplete. Do not use EarthMap as a substitute for official warnings. Always verify with local authorities. EarthMap is not liable for decisions made from this map.

What EarthMap is

EarthMap is a live satellite map of Earth. The imagery is Sat: four geostationary disks that meet at soft seams. The poles are not covered. New scenes arrive about every 10 minutes and are usually on the map within about an hour. This is not a weather-model animation.

The basemap is served from our own infrastructure: Protomaps vector tiles on Cloudflare R2, NASA Blue Marble imagery, and self-hosted Lexend map fonts. No third-party map provider sits between you and the data.

For a fire-incident map, use FireMap. For downloadable geospatial data, use DisasterDB. Read more on the About page.
