Description

*If someone with hardware could let me know how this looks, that'd be great!

Live ADS-B air traffic on your wrist. See planes around you in real time, painted over OpenStreetMap roads centered on your current GPS location. Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds.

Controls:
- Select: Cycle Zoom (5, 10, 20, 40 mi visible)
- Up / Down: Pick next or last plane ordered by distance from you
- Back: Deselect plane if selected, exit app

When a plane is selected you'll see its callsign, type and tail number, altitude, and ground speed, plus its recent flight path drawn over the map. Missing fields show in orange, planes without a callsign fall back to their ICAO hex address.

Roads are cached on your phone for 7 days; planes are polled at most every 30 seconds. If Overpass rate-limits, the app honors Retry-After and falls back to the cached map.

Attributions:
- ADS-B info provided by adsb.lol.
- Road map data provided by OpenStreetMap contributors, fetched via the Overpass API.

Privacy:
- GPS Position is used on-device for plane and road queries. Nothing is sent anywhere except the above public APIs.
