Maps & Transportation
Maps and Transportation collects tools for finding your way and tracking things that move. Maps and navigation holds map services, routing engines, and public transit planners. Vehicles and VIN covers vehicle history lookups and identification tools. Maritime tracking lists ship trackers and port data, and geolocation tools collects services that work from coordinates, IP addresses, or phone signals. Radio and communications covers aviation, marine, and amateur radio references that depend on location, and real estate and property adds land and building lookup tools. Flight tracking, weather, and live maps and webcams are smaller topics in the same category. Several entries use public or crowd-sourced data, which means coverage is uneven between countries and can be out of date, so check a source before you rely on it for a journey or a decision.
