Satellite Status - map12.saltwatercentral.com

We often get the question, "Why is the satellite data missing from our site?" There can be various reasons, such as something broke, but more often than not the issue is just the simple fact that the satellite in question has not yet made an overpass on our area of interest. Or they have made an overpass, and we are processing the data and it will be available soon.
