## Description

Firemap is an interactive viewer that displays near‑real‑time active fire hotspots detected by MODIS and VIIRS sensors. Use the map to zoom into locations, switch cartographic bases (orthophoto, topography, OpenStreetMap), geoposition via GPS, take on-map measurements, and draw maps highlighting fire hotspots for analysis or sharing.

Firemap relies on NASA FIRMS data and EFFIS processing for enhanced visualization and rapid damage assessment. Information is typically updated within hours of satellite acquisition. Keep in mind sensor spatial accuracy, cloud or smoke cover, and non-fire heat sources can affect detections. For more details and technical background visit https://www.geamap.com/en/fires, NASA FIRMS, and EFFIS documentation.

## Review summary

Some users praise Firemap for showing active fires worldwide with real-time updates and find it helpful during wildfires. However, recurring complaints focus on language barriers (no English UI or hard to switch), inconsistent accuracy and timeliness (data can be hours behind or mislabelled), and a poor, confusing UI. Reliability issues such as glitches and map-key/ad integration are also noted. Overall, while real-time fire information is valued by some, language, accuracy, and usability problems limit trust and broader adoption.

### Pros

- Shows active fires worldwide with real-time updates.
- Real-time updates and emergency usefulness (helps during wildfires).
- Useful for monitoring burned areas and staying informed.
- Some users describe it as superb or accurate.

### Cons

- Language barriers: UI not in English and difficult or impossible to switch.
- Inaccurate or delayed data: can be hours behind and mislabelled.
- Poor and confusing user interface / navigation.
- Reliability issues: glitches, ads, and map key problems.
