Cuba, place by place

Switch between four views. Explore is a clean map of places. Satellite shows Esri imagery with labels on top. Terrain 3D tilts the map so real elevation reads as relief. Live adds storms, earthquakes and recent wildlife observations over the satellite view. A fifth view, Trip, shows the places you have saved.

Drag to move and scroll or pinch to zoom. Tilt and rotate with a right-click drag on a computer or two fingers on a phone. The compass shows direction and resets the view, the 3D button switches the tilt on and off, and the globe button switches between a flat map and a globe at the widest zoom. Search finds any place by name.

Layers cover beaches, cities, hotels, restaurants, airports, ports, national parks and activities. Car rental, churches, marinas, pharmacies, clinics, fuel and banks appear once you zoom in, and a directory of hospitals, schools, museums and more is drawn from OpenStreetMap.

Elevation comes from Mapzen Terrain Tiles on AWS Open Data, satellite imagery from Esri, Maxar and Earthstar Geographics, and street-level places from OpenStreetMap contributors. Storms come from the NOAA National Hurricane Center, earthquakes from USGS and wildlife from iNaturalist. Live layers show detections and observations, not forecasts or damage reports, and a layer shows as unavailable when its source cannot be reached. The enhanced-relief setting exaggerates elevation, which Cuba does not have; Data Saver and Battery Saver turn terrain off on slower devices.
