Look for the yellow 'LIVE' note and then go to the station and find their 'LIVE' stream.

My understanding is power is still out across Puerto Rico. If that's the case, broadcast TV there might be an issue unless they are broadcasting via generator power. Of course, that might be pointless if they are broadcasting to an area that is in blackout.

As for live feed. Of what? TV? Satellite images?

I changed your thread title because "GPS" view is not really descriptive as GPS works using multiple satellites, that are not directly over most areas they provide GPS coordinates for, and ground-based towers (for consumer GPS).

Are you meaning satellite view like Google Earth? If so, I don't know of any publicly accessible real-time service available for that.

At best, you may get a news media outlet posting a snapshot from a government controlled satellite that passed over the area after the storm passed through.

GPS is a location service. I've never heard of a GPS view. I'm guessing you mean satellite view.

I found these. They offer infrared, water vapor, and visible light images updated every 30 minutes.

EDIT: Just noticed, Puerto Rico is just off the map hah. Molded.

Thank you guys.

Turns out it's called "optics"... when I said gps I was going with the "s" satellite.

It can be done but very expensive.

Those are very cool and I would probably find a way to launch one with a bunch of my Astronomy buddies, but the fact that it only last a few weeks before it's orbit decays is the problem. If it were to stay up there for a couple of years before decaying. I would be cranking up a kickstarter to launch one of those bad boys.

CubeSats on the other hand can be in orbit for weeks, months or even years depending on what they are being launched with and what orbit it's looking to go to. Although, those start at $100k not $8k hah.
