Almost 800 km above the surface of Earth, a pair of Sentinel-2 satellites are collecting a vast amount of data every second. Main tasks they have is to photograph our planet. And the best pictures from summer time on both hemispheres were collected, cropped, color calibrated, cleared from the clouds, stitched together, and published in a form of a package everybody can use in the application, on the web, or even offline.

To give the satellite map the right geographical context, the place names and roads from the OpenStreetMap project are displayed in one of the 55 languages.

The OpenMapTiles Satellite map package with data for the whole world has approximately 200GB, which is a size of a bigger USB stick you can put in your pocket or easily store on any standard computer or server.

Companies and institutions who need maps in their products can easily launch independent global map services powered by our software and geodata packages and integrate the maps with their websites and mobile apps.

OpenMapTiles maps are already used by Siemens, IBM, Bosch, Amazon, Swiss Federal Railways, and others.
