Mulitple Receivers on one map

    I've previously had one Rasberry Pi receiver up and running.
    While I fed to multiple sites, I found the Flight Aware map easier to use.

    Now, I've got 4 receivers and 4 raspberry pi's ready to go to work.
    Each receiver will be spaced a long distance apart and each will
    be on a different router and different IP address

    I would like to increase it to 12 receivers, and all over northern Alberta
    Canada. I understand that MLAT will allow these multiple receivers
    will be able to show position information for transponders just
    squawking mode C without ADS-B out.

    Any direction would be appreciated going down to the
    software that should be put on the SD card in the Rasberry pi.

    Thanks

    ModeS can be located via MLAT, ModeC cannot.

    Sorry explaining multiple receivers on a single map is tiresome, you could feed all the beast and mlat beast data into a single port running readsb that isn't feeding anyone and is only for display purposes.
    But you'd have to figure that out yourself. (unless someone else has motivation to explain it in detail)

    Otherwise i'd recommend just looking at the global map.

    wiedehopf, If you feed from one receiver, can you see on that same map
    the data from your other receivers that would otherwise be blocked
    by the censors?

    We don't block anything on the global map.

    And no your local receiver will only show what it receives itself.
    Setting up a central display instance to collect data is something you'll have to figure out yourself.
