Crowd-size estimation from mapped areas

Best for: Use it when a protest, rally, queue, or public gathering claim needs transparent crowd-size estimation caveats.

NASA satellite imagery browsing

Best for: Use it when a geospatial question needs environmental, fire, smoke, weather, or satellite-layer context over time.

Copernicus satellite data browser

Best for: Use it when a case needs sensor-aware European satellite imagery, dates, cloud context, or downloadable scenes.

Sun and shadow checks for visual verification

Best for: Sunlight, shadow, time-of-day, and geolocation support when a known or suspected location can be tested.

Open aerial imagery catalog for mapping workflows

Best for: Use it when a geospatial workflow needs open imagery that can be inspected or reused with licensing context.

OpenStreetMap geocoding and search

Best for: Use it when a place name, address, or coordinate needs open-map context and geocoding caveats.

Structured geographic names database and gazetteer

Best for: Use it when a place, transliteration, or geographic entity needs structured gazetteer context.
