Mapbox Satellite
Mapbox Satellite is a global tileset of high-resolution satellite imagery. The imagery data comes from a variety of commercial providers, as well as open data from NASA, USGS, and others. It’s color-corrected and blended together into a single raster tileset.
Mapbox Satellite is available at zoom levels 0-21, and in some cases can be overzoomed further, though coverage varies depending on the requested area. For example, San Francisco has much better data at zoom level 21 than a remote region like northern Canada does.
Mapbox Satellite is available as a tileset in the Mapbox Studio style editor. It is also available through our APIs and SDKs by using the style URL mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-v9 or tileset ID mapbox.satellite.
This example Mapbox GL JS code references the Mapbox Satellite style URL:
const map = new mapboxgl.Map({
container: 'map',
zoom: 9,
center: [137.915, 36.259],
style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-v9'
});
