Want to see your friends and family in the air?
Or maybe you are just interested in planes, flights or air traffic control.
Plane Finder is a great app that provides virtually real time information on planes across the South of England. It’s easy to use and is fully integrated into Google Maps. It’s also easy to switch between map views and details and it even pulls in photos of the planes.
Plane Finder is also great for the serious flight enthusiast using virtual radar feeds.
Plane Finder works by picking up ADS-B plane feeds used by all commercial planes to transmit their name, position, destination and lots more.
It’s fascinating and great fun to see what’s going on!
We have included data for the following locations.
• UK – South
If you are a virtual radar hobbyist you can even share your own data for use within the app.
