About CyberSignal
Last updated 19 October 2026
CyberSignal is a free, live view of the planet. It brings the signals the world already publishes — aircraft transponders, satellite orbits, public traffic cameras, earthquake sensors, ship beacons — onto one map, so you can move from a view of the whole Earth down to a single street.
What you can do
- World View — a globe of what is happening now: every aircraft the volunteer ADS-B receivers of adsb.lol can see, worldwide, with routes for many flights; satellites in orbit; earthquakes and natural hazards; thousands of public cameras you can open inline; and mapped licence-plate-reader locations.
- Free Fly — fly a camera over real terrain and aerial imagery, with live aircraft and ships drawn as 3D models and simulated traffic moving on real roads.
- Optics — a wall of live traffic video and refreshing stills from transport agencies around the world.
How it works
Everything comes from public, open sources — national transport agencies, open flight-tracking networks, NASA, the USGS, OpenStreetMap and others. The full list, with licences, is on the data sources page. The servers fetch each source on a schedule and share one copy among all visitors, which keeps the site fast and keeps the load on those free services low.
Live positions are snapshots. Between updates, aircraft and ships are carried forward along their own reported course and speed, so the map keeps moving smoothly; the next update corrects any drift.
What is real and what is simulated
- Real: aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, hazards, camera images, measured road speeds where an agency publishes them (New York, Finland), and plate-reader locations as mapped by volunteers.
- Simulated: the individual cars in Free Fly. They drive on real roads at speeds set by road type, time of day and, where available, measured traffic speeds — but no real vehicle is being tracked. The map says so wherever they appear.
- Estimated: the direction a camera faces and its view cone, which come from the agency’s stated compass direction rather than a survey.
Principles
- Only official, public camera feeds — never private or unsecured cameras.
- No accounts, no sign-in, and no tracking of who looks at what.
- Honest labels: data that is delayed, estimated or simulated is marked as such.
- Credit to every source, as their licences ask.
