What the overlays look like
These are the real overlays, the same ones OBS loads, running on a pretend bike ride around Copenhagen. The position updates once a second, the way a phone sends GPS.
On stream
A few overlays together on a 1080p scene: a stats bar, a heading tape, a modern radar map and the ETA to where you’re going. In OBS each one is its own Browser Source, so you can place and size them however you like.
The live example needs JavaScript.
Map overlays
The mini map is the heart of an IRL map overlay. It follows you, draws your trail and can turn with your heading. The classic OpenStreetMap look and Monochrome are free; supporters get the rest, and can change every colour.
Classic dark Free
The default: OpenStreetMap in dark mode, a rounded frame, your trail and a speed badge.
Monochrome Free
A round, black-and-white map that turns with your heading, with an N marker on the rim.
Modern radar Supporter theme
Rotates with you and zooms out as you speed up, like the radar in an open-world driving game.
Retro radar Supporter theme
Round, grey and chunky, with a black ring and a plain N.
Sunset neon radar Supporter theme
Purple streets, a hot-pink ring and a cyan trail.
Speed and stats
Every stat comes in any font, size and colour, on its own or lined up in a bar.
Glass stats bar Free
Speed, distance this stream, local time and the weather, on a see-through background.
Big speedometer Free
Just the number, eased so it climbs and drops smoothly instead of jumping.
Altitude and incline Free
Height above sea level and the road grade, stacked in a column.
Local time and weather Free
The time where you are (it follows you across time zones) and the weather, with “feels like”.
Where you’re heading
Destination and ETA Free
Set a destination from the dashboard or the app and show the distance, time left and a progress bar.
Compass tape Free
A heading strip like a game HUD.
Compass rose Free
The classic round compass, turning with you.
Elevation profile Free
Your ups and downs over the last few minutes. Great on a mountain road.
Make them yours
Each of these is a starting point in the overlay editor. Change the font, colours, size, units and labels, and OBS picks the change up within a second. The map overlay and stats overlay pages go through every option, and the OBS guide shows how to add them.
On a real stream, the data comes from your phone (the irlmap.live app for Android, or your phone’s browser) or a BELABOX, and only while you’re live on Twitch. Your dead zones and stream delay apply to every overlay.

Free, and it takes about five minutes to set up.
