About OGN Viewer

What is OGN:
The "Open Glider Network" (OGN) is a network of HF receivers maintained by gliding enthusiasts mainly in europe which listen to signals of flarm devices (or compatible) and OGN trackers. The "OGN Viewer" connects to the OGN and visualises the received data.

How to use:
Start the OGN viewer and set up the aprs filter. If you leave the filter empty you will see the whole OGN traffic and this could make the app slow. If you make a long click on the map, the filter dialog will appear with a filter for the range 100km around the point you clicked.

Aircraft details
For some gliders detailed information are shown: registration, competition sign and model. If for a glider only a cryptic id is shown (e.g. "DD4711" or "3D0815"), you can fix it:
- just tap on the id and fill in the informations in the upcoming dialog (these informations are stored on your device only)
- if you are the owner of the glider, just go to the "OGN devices db" (http://ddb.glidernet.org) and fill in the informations (these information are visible to all users of this app)
- if you aren't the owner but you know the owner, just ask the owner to fill in the informations to the "OGN devices db"

What are users saying about OGN Viewer

R70%
by R####:

The default empty APRS filter freezes up the UI and there is no hint how to enter a reasonable one. Unusable.

B70%
by B####:

Works on my Android 6 MotoE2 but only displays the map with no red ring for filter nor gliders on Android 5.1.1 Lenovo Yoga Tab3. Update: After reboot and checking my filter setting it is now working on the tablet.

N70%
by N####:

I have updated the app and it works very well! 4 stars "only" as an incentive to improve towards an app with the same level of information we find in the browser version (localisation of antennas). Weiter so. Danke!

Y70%
by Y####:

A very good start! Thanks for that. Any chance to have source code with an open licence?

N70%
by N####:

This would be great if it worked but sorry to say that this is not fit for purpose. Constant lock ups and crashes the phone too. If it manages to stay up massive battery drain (50% in 60 mins!) Un installed

X70%
by X####:

It is really a pity that ogn does not work. Also because the browser in both devices is not working properly with ogn web site. It is such as the connection is too slow but this is not the case for other web sites. Please try to solve the issue because your idea is fantastic.
