Common questions
- Is this map a new risk score?
- No. The shading and pins repeat what the official sources say: the overall level on each country page comes from the US State Department, Global Affairs Canada and the UK Foreign Office. Nothing here is Voyaggora’s own rating.
- How often does the map update?
- Travel advice and airport weather are read every 2 minutes, and this page reloads them while it is open. Outside agencies publish at their own pace, so disasters, quakes and fires are re-read about every 10 minutes and satellite hotspots every 15. Plane positions refresh every 30 seconds while you are zoomed in on an area.
- Why do I see only some of the planes?
- The free community data source answers one area at a time. Zoom in to a city or an airport and the planes appear; the world count is for the whole planet. The Flights in the sky page has jump buttons for 15 busy airports.
- What is a satellite hotspot?
- A heat reading from a NASA satellite. It can be a wildfire, but it can also be a gas flare or hot ground, so it is off by default. Named fires are shown separately and are the ones to rely on.
