About Flight Map
YOU CAN DO IT ON A PLANE!
Flight Map is a unique application that works as your own personal flight tracker (Sky map) while flying in an airplane. It shows where you currently are, speed, altitude and some other information about your flight. You can check the Estimated Time of Arrival of your flight while you are sitting on a plane. You can see how far from the target airport you are. You can also see and name the landmarks on the way, so that you know what you see from your window.
There are two more version of Flight Map - Flight Map FREE which you can try for free and see if it works on your device without some functionality and Flight Map HD which includes more detailed world map, but it comes at a price of consuming more space in your phone's memory.
Flight Map also displays visible and used GPS / GLONASS satellites, so you can use it as a GPS testing tool. The GPS function works when your phone is in airplane mode, because it does not broadcast any radio, it rather listens to the GPS satellites only.
Features include:
- Real time position of the plane on the map
- Zoomable world map not dependent on a connection to internet
- Your own personal flight tracker
- Works when your phone is in Airplane mode, so it can be used anytime while in flight
- Recording your route and sharing it on the internet
- Database of world airports
- Entering destination as longitude / latitude coordinates
- Estimated Time to Destination and Time to Arrival depending on the plane type and position
- Dark / Light skin
- Metric / Imperial units
- Multilanguage (currently English, Spanish, Portugese, French, Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Czech, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Hungarian)
- Map can be fullscreen or split screen with real time flight data
- GPS / GLONASS Satellites real time display depending on your device capabilities
- Sunrise and sunset at present position
- Line to destination can be shown or hidden
- Altitude calculation calibrated either to sea level or destination altitude
Please note that Flight Map is heavily dependent on the quality of your device's GPS capabilities. If your device is capable of A-GPS (Assisted GPS), please run the application while on the ground, so that the satellites' positions get downloaded from the internet, it will be much easier for the device to pick up signal when in the air.
Please share your experience with various devices. Most of the time Flight Map works perfectly when sitting in a window seat and does not work too good when sitting two seats from the window or more. In any case we recommend to move the device to the window, let it pick up the satellites signal first and then try how far from the window it can pick up the signal. The screen showing the visible and used satellites is designed to help you with this.
If your device is capable of receiving GLONASS signal, the satellites are shown with a differently colored border. If you want to translate Flight Map into your language (or correct our translation), please contact the developer. The first run of the application takes a while because it needs to unpack the whole world map to be able to display it.

I installed this on my phone and tablet, neither worked as there is no wifi on planes! Total rubbish, and I paid for it.

But ETA is incorrect. Within the same time zone the ETA is earlier than the current time. Hope it will be corrected.

Great app, sometimes the plane isn't pointed in the correct direction and I have to restart it, and the airspeed and altitude can be a bit slow to update, but other than that it's nice to have on long flights.

Why not put the airports on a 4 letter for the search? How to save the route for future use?

Nice update! Like the app so far, some suggestions for future features: -Still would like an option to delete / add blank to destination. :) (Route recording could be optional anyway.) -A nice feature would be to be able to use coordinates as DD°MM.MM' as well. -Maybe one further zoom level as an option for those with large internal memory. (At least for selected regions.) -Selectable aircraft icon on map. -Keep it up, pretty soon it will be 5* ;)

I just used this on 4 flights this past week. It does need to be close to window to pick up the most satellites so it maintains a constant signal. I think it was darn accurate in speed and altitude, based on what our intended altitude was going to be. It kind of freezes when you have too few satellites locked on, but moving it closer to window takes care of that. Enjoyed this aviation tracker, especially in legal "airplane mode".

By the description this should work on an airline flight with phone in airplane mode. The only position shown was while I was on the ground at EWR, did not work at all throughout the flight, showed me on the ground at Newark for my whole flight to Florida. A waste!

Great idea. I fly a lot, always great to know where I'm at and what I'm looking at. Just installed, can't zoom in. Still useful info. Am I missing something here? Provde zoom capability with optional high res offline maps and this is a 5-star app!
