Background & Features

Earth View – GeoTracker is designed to provide an immersive and detailed perspective of global activity. It combines multiple data layers to give users real-time insights:

• 3D Globe Exploration: Navigate freely around a high-fidelity 3D Earth with smooth rotation, zoom, and day/night visualization.
• Orbital & Satellite Tracking: Track thousands of satellites in real-time, view their orbital speed, trajectory, altitude, and telemetry data.
• Flight Tracking: Monitor commercial and military flights with live speed, altitude, and direction.
• Marine Vessel Tracking: Track ships and maritime traffic globally, showing vessel type, heading, and speed.
• Weather & Environmental Data: Visualize live cloud movement, precipitation, storms, and global heatmaps.
• Street Traffic Updates: Monitor urban traffic, congestion, and historical patterns for streets worldwide.
• Telemetry Mode: Access detailed telemetry for satellites, flights, and vessels, including velocity, position, altitude, and path.
