http://mapping-dev.adsbexchange.com We are going to be replacing VRS and kicking it to the trash bin in the future. The team at the startup http://flightprediction.com/ is working on a map. They would like input, suggestions, and feature requests. Enjoy.
I like. Seems more responsive. I like the search feature, works well and its quick and takes you directly to the plane in question. I would like to see a share option, so I can send a link to a friend so they can follow the flight.
It's basic visually but performance wise it uses PostGIS with a 1 month store of all flights that we can change depending on the amount of disk space. You can search for aircraft, airports, etc. It needs some pretty plane icons and what not. But that requires a type look up database.
PostGIS is new to me, looks good. I've just been trying to figure out how the API works. I've managed to get some data back, but I was trying to work out how to get more data back using "rest/search". Do you have a quick cheat sheet on how the API works. Site definitely feels a lot snappier and light weight. Thanks!
You're getting all there is to get from the search endpoint, you feed in a string and you get back the matching keywords with a lat lon. It's rudimentary and we have work in progress to improve it. We have a pile of use cases for filtering, on the list for example are min/max altitude filters, aircraft type, airline and callsign pattern filters, etc. The API is changing very rapidly, but will eventually be standardized and which point it makes sense to layout more information. For now chrome dev tools is your friend and you will see is very simple approach (part of its performance gain is the simplicity). Future api users will require access tokens and several automated rate and data limiting measures will be employed to avoid abuse but still provide the best experience for adsbx users. Stay tuned! Oh and don't forget to check out the mobile experience, open the app on android (or iphone i hear it works as well) and click the menu and do "add to home screen", a new icon on your android home screen will pop up, which launches the app full screen:
No worries, I completely understand its work in progress. Happy to play around with dev tools. I was wondering how you managed to get the aircrafts on your attached android image and then realised you've updated the app Looks good. Works well for me on my phone from home screen.
