OSINT map: open-source intelligence, live on one globe
An OSINT map puts open-source intelligence where it happens: aircraft and ships from their own broadcasts, satellites from published orbits, and disasters, conflict reports and advisories from official and open feeds. Right now it lists 493 incidents from the last seven days, drawn from 13 open feeds, as of .
What is an OSINT map?
OSINT means open-source intelligence: information anyone can get legally from public sources. An OSINT map places that information on the Earth, so you can see a situation as it develops instead of reading about it in pieces. On Gods Eyes that means live aircraft and ships, satellites, earthquakes, fires, storms, government alerts and travel advisories, and news reports of protests and armed violence grouped by place, all on one map you can open in a browser.
Which open sources feed this map?
These are the feeds running right now, with what each one holds and when it was last read. Items on the map link back to their source wherever it has a page to read.
| Feed | What it adds | Now | Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS-B (ADSBHub) | Aircraft positions, height and speed from their own transponders | 4,702 in the air | |
| adsb.lol military list | Military and government aircraft that broadcast openly | 64 broadcasting | |
| AIS (AISStream.io) | Ship positions, speed, course and destination from coastal receivers | 28,361 ships | |
| CelesTrak | Satellite orbits, worked out live in your browser | 818 satellites | |
| USGS (all sizes) | Every earthquake the U.S. Geological Survey reports | 186 in 24 hours | |
| USGS | Earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 and up, worldwide | 119 in 7 days | |
| NASA EONET | Open wildfires, storms, volcanoes and floods tracked by NASA | 11 in 7 days | |
| NOAA / NWS | Severe and extreme weather alerts in the United States | 21 in 7 days | |
| GDACS | Cyclones, floods, volcanoes, droughts and wildfires, with automatic alert levels | 80 in 7 days | |
| Copernicus EMS | Major disasters mapped for civil protection in Europe and beyond | 0 in 7 days | |
| CISA KEV | Software flaws known to be exploited, added in the last week | 12 in 7 days | |
| U.S. State Dept | Travel advisory levels for every country | 0 in 7 days | |
| GDELT | News reports of protests and armed violence, grouped by place | 250 in 7 days |
We only run sources whose terms allow a commercial service. GDACS alert levels are automatic estimates, not official warnings. Copernicus EMS and CISA data are used without any endorsement by them. The full list, with each licence, is on data sources.

Conflict and protest counts are clusters of news reports about a place, machine-coded by the GDELT Project, not confirmed events. Open one on the map to read the reports.
Who uses an OSINT map, and for what?
Anyone who needs to see where something is happening, not just read about it.
- Journalists checking a claim against where aircraft and ships actually were.
- Researchers and students following a disaster, a conflict or a shipping lane over days.
- Analysts watching one region: what is flying, what is moored, what has been reported.
- Travelers and security teams checking advisories, quakes and storms before a trip.
- People who just want to see what is happening in the world right now.
What does Command add for analysts?
Command is the plan for running your own ops room. It costs $69.99 a month or $599 a year and includes everything in Black Clearance, plus:
- Boards and windows
- Live board sync
- TV casting
- AI analyst chat
- Cyber threats
- Geopolitical headlines
- Import and export map files
- Measuring tools: distance, area, bearing and range rings
- Military installations
- Military awareness picture
- License-plate reader map
- Data center map
- Oil and gas infrastructure
- Power lines and mines
- Power plants
- Power substations
- Internet cables
The Situation Room becomes a dashboard: boards and windows you arrange, kept in step across screens and cast to a TV. The AI analyst answers questions about what is on the map and names the feed it read; everyone gets a few free questions a day, Black Clearance gets more, and Command gets the full allowance. Its answers can be wrong, so check the source it names.
Black Clearance ($9.99 a month or $79 a year) is the step before: the military aircraft layer, flight and place alerts, the full daily brief, the vessel table and the 3D globe. Compare all three plans.
How reliable is open-source data?
It is as good as its source, and every source has gaps. Aircraft and ships can switch their transponders off, and some military aircraft never switch them on. Ships far out at sea drop out of range of coastal receivers. Disaster alert levels from GDACS are automatic estimates. News clusters show that outlets are reporting something about a place, not that it happened as reported. Treat the map as a lead and confirm with the original source.
What does this map not show?
Nothing on it is intercepted or leaked. It leaves out private aircraft whose owners opted out of public display through the FAA, and private boats. It never predicts where an aircraft, a ship or a person is going, and military aircraft appear only when they broadcast openly.
Questions people ask
Is this OSINT map free?
Yes, the live map and the incident list are free, with no account. Black Clearance ($9.99 a month) adds the military aircraft layer, alerts and the full daily brief. Command ($69.99 a month) adds the analyst tools: boards, the full AI analyst, exports, measuring tools and the infrastructure and military layers.
What is the difference between an OSINT map and an OSINT dashboard?
A map shows where things are. A dashboard puts several views side by side, such as a map, an incident list, a few cameras and the news, so you can watch one situation from several angles at once. Command turns the Situation Room into that kind of dashboard, with boards and windows you arrange yourself.
Can I export what I see?
With Command, yes. Your drawings, notes and measurements export as GeoJSON, KML or CSV, and can include the aircraft and ships in view. GeoJSON, KML and CSV files import too.
Does it show military activity?
It shows military and government aircraft that broadcast their position openly; many don't. Our military flight tracker lists them live for free, and Black Clearance puts them on the map as their own layer. Command adds military installations and a military awareness picture. Nothing here is secret, and we never guess where anything is going.
Is using OSINT legal?
Reading public broadcasts and published data is generally lawful, and that is all this map uses. What matters is what you do with it, and following or harassing a private person is never acceptable. This is not legal advice.
