What is on it
- ARCANEEvery published story whose headline or deck names a passage, sea or country, pinned there; a story naming two places is drawn as a line between them. 2 stories name no place and are not pinned.
- EarthquakesThe U.S. Geological Survey's feed of the past day, read live by your browser.
- Data centres, damsSwitch them on in the view's layer list. © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) and Open Infrastructure Map.
- ImageryEsri World Imagery (Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics).
- Not hereLive aircraft, ships, satellites and cameras need the project's own server, which ARCANE does not run, so those switches are hidden. Submarine cables are left out because their data is licensed for non-commercial use only.
God's Eye View is Bilawal Sidhu's open-source project (MIT licence), served unchanged with ARCANE's own layer added. For passage traffic, see the chokepoint register.
