share my flight
Sharing is off until you start it and your browser asks for location permission. Your phone keeps the points on the device while offline and uploads them when it reconnects. Anyone with your share link can see the track, rounded to about 10 metres. Stop sharing at any time from the share page; everything is deleted 7 days after the share was created. To delete it sooner, email aryanjarvis32@gmail.com with the share link.
"I'm on this flight" on the radar uses your location only inside your browser and never sends it to us.
aircraft data
Aircraft positions come from public ADS-B radio broadcasts collected by community receiver networks (see Credits). Registration and type come from public databases. Aircraft owners who want their aircraft hidden can email aryanjarvis32@gmail.com with the registration or hex code.
