Live Map
The live map shows active Project Carga movement and important cargo network locations.
It is one of the easiest ways to see the network as a shared world: pilots, drivers, airports, depots, and Shared Hubs all working together.
What Appears
The live map can show:
| Item | What it means |
|---|---|
| Airports | Flight sim locations used by pilots. |
| Depots | ETS2 road locations used by drivers. |
| Shared Hubs | Linked airport and depot pairs that share cargo activity. |
| Active aircraft | Flight sim jobs currently sending live updates. |
| Active trucks | Trucker jobs currently showing route progress. |
Major and minor depots may use different icons. Smaller depots may become less prominent when the map is zoomed out.
Active Jobs
Active trucker jobs can show route progress between the origin and destination.
Active flight sim jobs can show aircraft position and heading. Where available, the live map may also show flight stage, altitude, and speed.
Aircraft and trucks are shown while the companion app is actively sending updates. If updates stop, the marker disappears shortly afterwards.
Different aircraft and truck icons may be used for different types of movement.
Shared Hubs
Some locations are Shared Hubs, where an airport and depot work together as one local cargo point.
On the live map, a Shared Hub may appear as two linked pins or as one combined airport/depot icon. Either way, the linked airport and depot are part of the same local cargo economy.
Local Demand
Cargo levels can change as the network moves.
Players add freight by completing jobs, and some locations may also use freight over time through local demand. This means a depot or airport can become hungry for cargo again even after previous deliveries have filled it.
When local demand appears on the live map, it means the local area has used some of the freight stored there.
The Local Demand section is separate from player deliveries. It helps explain why a location’s stock may change even when no pilot or driver has just completed a job there.
