Detail fast laneEnter open the current briefing row in Detailf focus the map on the current row or selected signalClicks, layer names, and severity semantics stay unchanged.
Mobile control[ open Layers on compact screens] open Detail on compact screensKeep two briefings visible and pull any queued stream back into view.
System contractOnly help density and shorthand adapt automatically.Map controls, source colors, severity meaning, and click paths stay fixed.Use Session to lock or reset mode, and System to verify access, trust, refresh, and render scope.
State semanticsLive means current ingest succeeded.Degraded means the source still answered, but quality or completeness fell.Stale means cached or old data is still visible and should be treated cautiously.
Zoom and densityDense real-time layers are intentionally suppressed at world zoom.Drill in before assuming an empty surface means no activity.Use the inline notes under Layers and Convergence when counts look lower than expected.
Starter analyst checklistUse this when you do not have a live case yet.1. Turn on USCG GPS Disruptions, ICC-CCS Piracy Reports, and SIGMET Hazard Zones.2. Open Intel, pick one row from each feed, and compare Detail against the map.3. Switch between Manual and Live to see how the workspace handles fresh data without moving your current view.
Export APIPremium sessions can pull a standardized mixed-layer dataset from /api/events/export.Repeat source=... to combine feeds such as guide and icc in one response.Use include_payload=false for a lean archive feed, or keep payloads for full source context.
Search places, vessels, aircraft, and identifiers, then jump directly to the map target.
Type to search mapped traffic and known place catalogs.
