Coverage Map

Check which locations the platform covers before you integrate. Switch layers on and off, search for a place name, a station ID or an ICAO code, and open any marker for its identifiers, coordinates and source.

Use the expand icon in the map's top-right corner for a full-screen view; there is no separate full-screen page to navigate to any more.

What "open access" means here

The weather station layer shows MetService-owned stations whose data carries no contractual restriction on redistribution. Most of the physical network is excluded because the data is owned by a third party, is for internal use, or is restricted by contract. Coverage on this map is not an entitlement: your API key still determines which stations you can read.

Coverage tells you where data exists, not what your key can reach and not a service guarantee. For the endpoints that return this information programmatically, see the Tide API guide and the Weather Stations API guide.
