FAQ

What is gods-eye-view?

An open-source browser globe that layers live flights, ships, satellites, quakes, traffic and public cameras on photorealistic 3D terrain, with voice control. God's Eye View is a browser-based 3D globe that brings public data feeds into one explorable view. It shows live aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, fire perimeters, weather observations and public traffic cameras, and lets you move from a global picture down to an individual aircraft or street. Many feeds come from public sources such as OpenSky, adsb.lol, USGS, CelesTrak and NOAA; traffic vehicles are simulated along OpenStreetMap roads rather than tracked individually.
