skies-adsb\n\n![Screenshot](docs/screenshot.png)\n_image of the skies-adsb app running in a browser showing air traffic around KMIA in Miami, FL_\n\n# Introduction\n\nskies-adsb is a real-time 3D browser based web app for tracking aircraft using [ADS-B](https://mode-s.org/decode/content/ads-b/1-basics.html) data obtained from a [RTL-SDR](https://www.rtl-sdr.com/about-rtl-sdr/) receiver.\n\n## Features\n\n- aircraft are tracked and rendered in real-time using unfiltered [ADS-B](https://mode-s.org/decode/content/ads-b/1-basics.html) data\n- the app is hosted on a [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/) running on your local network\n- flight status data is provided by the [FlightAware AeroAPI v4](https://flightaware.com/commercial/aeroapi/)\n- aircraft photos are provided by [Planespotters.net](https://www.planespotters.net/).\n- responsive web app built for touch displays and mobile devices\n- supports importing GeoJSON maps of your local area to use as a ground reference plane\n\n![Gif Recording](docs/skies-adsb-recording.gif)\n_recording of the skies-adsb app running in a browser demonstrating the use of the onscreen controls_\n\n# Installation Guides\n\nBelow is an installation guide for setting up skies-adsb on a Raspberry Pi either as a new install or on top of an existing Raspberry Pi installation:\n\n[Raspberry Pi Install Guide](docs/RPI-INSTALL-GUIDE.md)\n\nIf you do not have an Raspberry Pi or you wish to use an existing ADS-B decoder already running on a network (or localhost) you can run skies-adsb as a local webapp by following this guide:\n\n[No Raspberry Pi Install Guide / Use Existing Decoder](docs/LOCALHOST-INSTALL-GUIDE.md)\n\n# HOWTOs\n\n[HOWTO create/update/use skies-adsb GeoJSON maps](docs/GEOJSON-MAPS.md)\n\n[HOWTO securely deploy skies-adsb with Cloudflare Tunnel](docs/CLOUDFLARE-TUNNEL.md)\n\n# Development\n\nThe app is written using WebGL+HTML5+CSS+JavaScript and it works on all of the latest major browsers: Chrome (Desktop+Mobile), Firefox (Desktop), and Safari (Desktop+Mobile). For information on how to setup a development environment for skies-adsb see here:\n\n[HOWTO Development](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md)\n\nFlight information and other data sources are managed via a local Flask API server proxy. See:\n\n[Flask API Server Docs](flask/README.md)\n\n# Contributing\n\nCommunity GeoJSON maps are welcome. Please submit new maps via a pull-request.\n\nPlease report bugs via the issue tracker.\n\nPlease submit any feature requests via the issue tracker.\n\n# Thanks\n\nI would like to give special thanks to the following people who gave me valuable feedback and helped me debug the app:\n\nAndre Thais CFI\n\n[Frank E.
