Set up a Raspberry Pi meteor detector

Is there a way to get a map of what areas are currently covered by the global meteor network?

I'm not sure where to get an up to date view but the slide at 5:45 in this video has a map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAGq-XqD5Po&t=5m45s

This wouldn't generally help with that, as these record meteors that are passing through the atmosphere.

Potentially Hazardous Objects have to be modelled from quite far away and have their courses plotted. Most PHOs would not show up on cameras such as this.

And if they did, it would be too late!
