Flight Map FREE

Own personal flight tracker, speed and altitude while flying in the air

YOU CAN DO IT ON A PLANE!

There is a paid version Flight Map, that includes database of world airports, estimated time of arrival and recording of the route flown that can be shared on social networks, so after you have tried the Flight Map FREE, you might consider upgrading. Or, you might consider upgrading to Flight Map HD, which has much more detailed map of the world.

Flight Map FREE 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 also see and name the landmarks on the way, so that you know what you see from your window.

Flight Map FREE 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

- 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

Please note that Flight Map FREE 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 FREE 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 FREE 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.
