Thanks for linking gpsjam -- flightradar24's map is total trash by comparison (colours, lack of borders). Does anyone know if a similar service covers things like GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou? EDIT: nevermind, these services can't distinguish. From the FAQ: > The ADS-B data used by this map includes information on the accuracy of the navigation system used by each aircraft, but doesn't specify the type of navigation system. It could be GPS, another global navigation satellite system (GNSS) like GLONASS, or it could be an inertial navigation system (INS). My understanding is that most aircraft are using GPS, so that's probably mostly what the map shows.

Flightradar24's visual representation definitely sucks, but comparing the two, gpsjam has a lot of unexpected missing areas across Africa, South America, and SE Asia that at least have some data on FR24. I'm not sure if that means FR24 has a better dataset, or they're processing it differently or if they're just extrapolating from few data points when they maybe shouldn't be.
