Pretty cool Satellite imagery website

Been using GIS, MODIS and several other sties to see satellite imagery for a while. Found this one a few weeks ago and it's a beast. The resolution is the best as well.
It's a little tricky at first to get going but you guys make Lowrance map cards so shouldn't be a problem. I'll link it up with the latest imagery for the Breton sound area for you to take a test drive.
Sentinel
If you scroll out enough you can see the flight path the satellite took. I think this is coming from Amazons new Satellite. Imagery updates for every area around every 4-5 days.

Sentinel does have better spatial resolution, but the temporal resolution is lacking. I prefer MODIS for more up to date looks. The 250m isn't great, but good enough.

I don't like updates every 4-5 days. I like updates daily.
That being said, the resolution is definitely better.

You can zoom well inside 250 miles, and the resolution will get better up to a certain point.

Am I dumb? I can't find any satellite images for any of Louisiana. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, daily is a necessity

Modis is better, until it has blank areas and color quality issues

hit search, enter in dates on the calender drop downs, i usually go last 5 days. A bunch of blocks will pop up for the area.Click a box then once the pop up happens click visualize.Posted on 5/22/19 at 2:07 pm to wahoocs

The "m" in 250m is for meters.

Huh... turns out I am dumb
However, when I zoom in it's not clear at all. Is there a mode that I can use to get clear images?

Tell me more about MODIS. Is it a pay site/app?
I use global mapper a lot because I need images to be exportable to load into other programs, but always looking for better imagery.

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
Temporal resolution is 1-2 days, but the best spatial resolution is 250m (good enough for water quality checks)
You can access the data free.

I can't see shite. It's all blurry.

If you look at today's image you will see a good example of the glare that often results in not being able to distinguish clearly the water clarity if the area you are searching is affected.

So, when you clicked in the link I posted you cant zoom in and see clear imagery?
