What is Gofy?
What it does: Gofy is a live interactive map designed to show what’s happening in cities and around the world in real time. Aside from community places and local events, it brings live physical data directly onto the map.
Data sources:
Orbital space launches and countdowns via Launch Library 2 (The Space Devs)
Live aircraft positions around airports via ADS-B / OpenSky feeds
Marine traffic and ferries via coastal AIS stations
Coastal sea temperatures and wave heights from NOAA / marine buoys
Live airport departure boards and flight statuses from official airport APIs
Update frequency:
Flight and marine telemetry refreshes every 10–30 seconds
Space launch countdowns tick live by the second, with telemetry polled every 5 minutes
Marine buoy observations update hourly
Who made it: An independent indie developer building lightweight, real-time map tools for exploring cities and global transit without clutter or paywalls. My Twitter : @heymrzak
