Alidade Satellite¶

Using fresh, brilliant, and sharp imagery, the Alidade Satellite style turns planet earth into your canvas. This style uses satellite imagery as a base, and layers labels and outlines of major features on top to create a solid contextual backdrop for your data.

// Initialize a map centered at (53, 12) at zoom level 5
var map = L.map('map').setView([53, 12], 5);

var gl = L.maplibreGL({

^† If you need to customize the style, you may use the imagery as a layer among other layers as part of the final visualization product. Note that the tiles are 512x512px rather than the standard 256x256. As such, zoom levels are off by one. Bulk downloading is strictly prohibited. Please review our Terms of Service carefully to ensure that your use case complies. Email us if you have any questions.

Styled raster tiles and static maps are not available at this time.

Additional Attribution¶

If you are using our satellite imagery, you must also include attribution for the imagery. Most renderers should add this for you automatically. If yours does not, or you have opted to generate the attribution manually, please ensure that you include the following additional text. No hyperlink is required.
