A look at our planet with the Sextant Viewer
2026-07-01 , A11

Observing the earth is not so straightforward with many web map viewers. How about the poles? How can we easily change the current time, and see which time span each layer has? And what about the day/night cycle?
Ifremer and Camptocamp have worked together to come up with a new software for this. We made the Sextant Viewer to be extremely easy to use, but also to address data sources and use cases that other map viewer on the market do not do as much. The Sextant Viewer shows Cloud-Native data, it switches effortlessly to globe mode using MapLibre, and it will fit snuggly inside any web site with its Web Component architecture.
