A live map of what is happening around the world, from public sources only. Every dot links back to where it came from.

Honest limits

• Attacks, protests and news are coded automatically from world news by GDELT every 15 minutes. They show what is being reported, can contain coding errors, and places are where a story is set (often a city), not an exact spot.
• Crime: there is no worldwide live feed of individual crimes. Incidents come from police open data for New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, Montgomery County (Maryland) and the UK (each published with a delay); everywhere else the layer shows crime stories from the news. Only incident type, a rough location and the date are shown.
• Wars & armed conflicts is a dated, hand-made overview; Disputed areas come from Natural Earth with neutral notes on who administers and who claims them. Neither is a statement of any position.
• Journalist Aws is an AI (OpenAI) that writes from the numbers and headlines on this map. He can be wrong, only knows what the map shows, and every claim has a [number] you can click to see its source. He needs an OpenAI key, which stays on your devices: use Pair another device in the Aws settings to move it to a new device with a QR code and a one-time code.
• Aircraft appear only in the Android and Windows apps, because the free flight feeds block web pages. Ships cover the Baltic Sea only (the one free ship feed open to browsers).
