Real time global wildfire tracker built in React and Node.JS
Powered by Google Maps and NASA's open API. We've added some styling options provided by Google to our map, and synchronized our NASA API data with the corresponding lat/long data in order to accurately show the locations of wildfires. Lastly, we use icons provided by iconify to represent the locations of wildfires as reported by NASA's Terra EOSAM-1 Satellite 🛰
Client: React, Nasa API, Google Maps API
