Plate readers
Locations come from OpenStreetMap contributors, many of them mapping through DeFlock. © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. These are reported locations only; //EYERUS has no access to any reader’s data.
Aircraft
Positions from the community ADS-B networks adsb.fi and adsb.lol (adsb.lol data under the Open Database License). Routes from adsbdb. Photos from Planespotters.net, credited to each photographer where shown. Aircraft whose owners have opted out of public tracking may be missing.
Vessels (beta)
AIS positions from aisstream.io, a free volunteer receiver network. Coverage is patchy away from busy coasts.
Emergency calls (beta)
- California Highway Patrol live incidents
- San Francisco Police Department calls for service, via DataSF
- Dallas Police Department active calls, via Dallas OpenData; addresses placed on the map with the US Census Bureau geocoder
- Montgomery County, Maryland police dispatch, via dataMontgomery
- Seattle Fire Department real-time 911, via data.seattle.gov
- City of Austin real-time traffic incidents, via data.austintexas.gov
Scanner audio (beta)
Recordings and talkgroup names from OpenMHz, where volunteers record public-safety radio. Audio plays straight from OpenMHz. Each system links back to its OpenMHz page. Systems are placed on the map using the city or county they list.
Trains (beta)
Amtrak train positions via Amtraker, which republishes Amtrak’s public train map.
