Live Trackers

Live trackers show things moving across the planet as it happens: airliners on approach, container ships in a strait, trains between cities, satellites overhead. Most are free to watch, with paid plans for history and extra detail.

How to choose

Flight trackers differ mainly in where their data comes from. Flightradar24, FlightAware and RadarBox combine their own receiver networks with airline and air traffic data, while ADS-B Exchange shows raw community data without filtering aircraft out.

Ship trackers depend on AIS signals. Near coasts, free coverage is excellent; far out at sea, positions come from satellites and are usually part of a paid plan.

All live maps have some delay, from seconds to a few minutes, and coverage depends on receivers on the ground. A gap on the map usually means no receiver nearby, not a missing vehicle.
