Plane Finder
Real time air traffic radar maps on the iPhone!
Plane Finder is a superb tool for anyone interested in aviation, planes, flights or air traffic control.
It's also great if you just want to know what is up there or want to see your friends and family in the air?
Plane Finder provides a real time "virtual radar" showing what is in the sky plus details such as altitude, speed, plane type etc. It's very addictive because there is so much flight movement in the sky.
Plane Finder provides real time information on planes across the UK and in Southern Scandinavia. It’s easy to use and is fully integrated into Google Maps.
Plane Finder also includes flight route information and the airline details.
It’s also easy to switch between map views, satellite view and information; it even pulls in photos of the planes.
Plane Finder works by picking up ADS-B plane feeds used by all commercial planes to transmit their name, position, destination and lots more. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used in some places for air traffic control and navigation.
It’s fascinating and great fun to see what’s going on!
We have already included data for the following locations.
• UK & Ireland
• Southern Scandinavia
• The Netherlands
• Western Australia
• NSW Australia
If you are a virtual radar hobbyist you can even share your own data for use within the app.
