THE EVIDENCE BEHIND THE MAP
Sources & coverage × Connected feeds, public reference data and the next integrations. Every status is explicit. No simulated traffic.
What this map can tell you Aircraft are public ADS-B/MLAT observations. Military is a provider database classification. Medical, police and SAR roles are tentative callsign matches. RNLI entries are published launches, with approximate station-area markers; they do not give a vessel’s current position or confirm an incident type. BBC headlines are not automatically pinned to guessed locations.
Electricity covers Great Britain, flood warnings cover England, RNLI launches include the UK and Ireland. Source timestamps, empty results and stale data remain visible. Aircraft trails are observations collected while this page is open.
