g7rta Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hi, check out https://events.flighttracker.tech/ It’s a moving map which uses google maps, to track your own plane and everyone else who’s using it Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

shb7 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 How do you get rid of the box that says upcoming events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I’m not sure you can. These boxes aren’t always on though. You can view the map on any device with a browser of course. I use it on my iPad while flying on the pc Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

hkhawaja Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Hi guys how can I use Google earth satellite or google maps as a moving map?There is another app, the VFRMap utility which shows your plane on a moving map and works great. You can also select a map location and immediately teleport there at a selected altitude. Runs in the browser, and looks great. https://www.msfsaddons.org/freeware/plugin-VFRMap Sent from my SM-A515F using Tapatalk Edited October 14, 2020 by hkhawaja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickDG Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 >>How do you get rid of the box that says upcoming events? IF you have Firefox and Adblock Plus (on a PC) you can get rid of the box by using the 'block element" feature of Adblock Plus. Not sure there's anything you can do about it on a mobile or iPad.

g7rta Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I’ve also tried VFRmap & it also looks good. Only problem for me though is that it only works on the pc, not a separate device like an iPad (unless you use an additional app like SpaceDesk) Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

ScratchRapsu Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 These look interesting! I’ve been using google maps on my second monitor to vaguely keep track of where I am. I did not realize there might be this kind of realtime tracking apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
