Very cool. The satellite views are awesome! I clicked around for 20 minutes and still felt like there was so much more to explore. Thoughts:
---
Unless there is a soviet military installation in Southend, Saskatchewan, something is seriously funky with the "military installation" layer.
It would be nice if clicking didn't lower the zoom level. It's fine to zoom in and center, but having it zoom me out every time I click something was annoying.

Military installations currently need to be sanitized and cleaned out. Will be working on later today. The source is unreliable and much of the data can be stored internally instead of public dataset.

I spent about a decade building a game that looks remarkably like this, I for one think this looks fantastic. Took me years of working with old 3d libraries and networking... and it never was finished....
Its incredible what can now be built with a little good ai tooling, just awesome.

Very cool
What’s the tech stack?

Very nice...the maritime vessels view seems very sparsely populated...especially in the Strait of Hormuz.

Satellite GIS for all vessels is pretty pricey. Waiting to see this project grow before investing in that realtime data. For now we have coastline GIS for vessels.

Cool, but the UI could use more vibing. Seems unusable on mobile because it's not responsive and the controls can't be hidden or collapsed

Mobile has been a common complaint that I have received. Planning on conquering this soon! (90% of all initial traffic is mobile).

This is amazing. I have been exploring open public datasets for some GIS projects. How are you dealing with any rate limits for how much you can pull from these public servers?
rakeda 5 hours ago [-]
I'm routing and caching a majority of the data into my own database so that all usage and rates are through my service. There are some client based api calls that are made (mostly around existing enrichment) but 95% of traffic hits the db my workers populate.

Very impressive! What's the stack used?
Also, is there a way to stop the 'Satellite Inspect' dialog from coming up when clicking around the globe? It obscures a bit of the map.

On it right now, should see the change live in 10 minutes!
Was supposed to only show when imagery was selected.

really great stuff on here, exploring any of the layers makes me want to learn more about it, maybe finding a way to link to relevant wiki articles for some of the data layers would be neat.

Some layers have additional enrichment, data linking everything internal external is a major goal for the project!
