5/5Great idea for low-level soaring
I’ve been monitoring basic adsbexchg data in my glider to see other nearby aircraft, but that’s all just phone visual. I really like avtraffic audible alerts based on predictive positions, or if cell internet lost. Should work great where I fly and cell towers are common. Can’t really test until spring, but ground testing seems excellent.
