Most of the EU satellite stuff is open licensed, lookup Sentinel II. Various wavelengths and new data every 5 days (so if it's cloudy you can try again).
It's not the most user-friendly though, you have to download large swathes at a time.
- greglindahl 9y agoNASA has datasets that are easy to integrate into maps. See https://gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov/ https://gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov/
- betatim 9y agoSentinel II images are great and provide many wavelengths. The resolution is a bit low for tracing though I think.
