This is a development inventory—not a live service-status page. “Implemented” means code exists. It does not confirm that a source is responding now, that credentials are configured or that commercial rights are cleared. The customer app is not yet available.
DEPTH FIRST
Vermont.
Then outward.
Regional depth starts with Vermont infrastructure and nearby transport and environmental sources. Global maps, imagery and selected world-data feeds add broader context. Completeness varies by geography.
OBSERVED ≠ MODELED ≠ LIVE
Different data.
Different clocks.
We distinguish publisher-updated snapshots, timestamped observations, annual estimates, predictions and planned integrations. A refresh request does not make an old observation current.
Source-by-source coverage
| Layer / source | Coverage | What the data represent | Development status | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interactive globe OpenStreetMap / Cesium | Global map context; detail varies | Map and dated geometry | Implemented | Attribution and database obligations apply; scalable tile hosting is a separate requirement. |
| Photorealistic 3D Google Map Tiles | Supported imagery regions | Dated imagery and geometry | Configuration needed | Licensed service and billing required. Tiles are not input for AI image analysis. |
| Road-camera images New England 511 | Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine | Publisher-updated still images | Implemented | Not continuous video. Commercial embedding and redistribution need publisher review. |
| Agency camera catalogs Caltrans / TfL JamCams | Selected California districts / London | Source-dependent images or streams | Implemented | A catalog entry does not prove playable video. Publisher terms apply. |
| Rail position reports MBTA / SEPTA | Boston / Philadelphia regional networks | Latest published vehicle reports | Implemented | Not all trains or freight. Commercial permissions and quotas vary by feed. |
| Winter road maintenance VTrans Plow Finder | Vermont | Reported positions with timestamps | Implemented | Stale reports are not current positions; agency reuse review remains. |
| Road and bridge status VTrans | Vermont | Agency-maintained status records | Implemented | Not a safe-routing or emergency dispatch guarantee. |
| Construction projects VTrans | Vermont | Active and planned project records | Implemented | Published plans are not live site observations; agency terms apply. |
| Infrastructure inventories VTrans / Vermont DEC | Vermont | Bridge, culvert and dam inventories | Implemented | Inventory records are not real-time structural monitoring. |
| Building exterior context Vermont Center for Geographic Information | Vermont | Published footprints and available heights | Implemented | No verified interiors or engineering-grade as-built guarantee. |
| Official weather alerts National Weather Service | United States / regional filters | Published active alerts | Implemented | Public-purpose API with usage limits. Check official emergency channels. |
| Model-based weather Open-Meteo | Global model coverage | Model updates, not a sensor at every point | Configuration needed | Commercial endpoint/subscription required before paid service use. |
| River observations USGS Water Data | Vermont reporting gauges | Discharge and gage height; observation age shown | Adapter tested | Modern API adapter live-probed September 14, 2026. Provisional/stale values labeled; app deployment still required. |
| Coastal water levels NOAA CO-OPS | Portland ME / Boston MA / New London CT | Preliminary measurements, metres MLLW | Adapter tested | Three-station adapter live-probed September 14, 2026. Not flood depth, forecasts or navigation guidance. |
| Airport surface weather NOAA Aviation Weather Center | Nine VT / NH / ME / MA airports | METAR weather observations | Adapter tested | Nine-station adapter live-probed September 14, 2026. Not aircraft tracking or an aviation briefing. |
| Earth-observation imagery NASA GIBS | Global products; acquisition gaps vary | Selected date and product | Implemented | Cloud, swath and acquisition gaps apply. Product lifecycle maintenance required. |
| Satellite thermal detections NASA FIRMS | Global satellite coverage; overpass gaps | Recent reported detections | Configuration needed | Requires a key and quota. A detection is not a confirmed incident. |
| Predicted satellite positions CelesTrak | Selected orbital object groups | Predictions from orbital elements | Implemented | Not live onboard GPS. Format migration needed for newer catalog identifiers. |
| Aircraft observations OpenSky / adsb.lol | Receiver-dependent coverage | Published aircraft reports | Configuration needed | OpenSky commercial/operational permission required; fallback has its own license and limits. |
| Vessel observations AISStream | Receiver-dependent maritime coverage | Received AIS reports | Configuration needed | Credentials, backend service and commercial-redistribution review required. |
| Area-level income US Census SAIPE | United States counties | 2024 annual estimates and uncertainty | Implemented | Aggregate county estimates, not current household earnings or individual records. |
| Road congestion TomTom Traffic | Supported road markets | Licensed traffic-flow values | Configuration needed | Key and purchased quota required. Keyless simulation must not be labeled live traffic. |
| Survey terrain and LiDAR VCGI / Vermont Open Geodata | Vermont | Survey-vintage elevation products | Planned | Publisher data are available; terrain conversion and app integration remain unfinished. |
| Camera-location metadata FLOCK mixed-source catalog | Coverage depends on submitted source records | Location catalog, not video | Rights review | Metadata is not access to Flock camera feeds. Underlying data permissions must be confirmed. |
What expansion must preserve
- Commercial-use permission, attribution and publisher playback rules.
- Observation dates, units and provisional or stale-data labels.
- Visible failures instead of invented data or simulated “live” activity.
- Bounded requests, caching and cost controls.
- Public-world context and aggregate analysis—not private-person dossiers.
