Field notes
The page says positions come from community ADS-B receiver networks and that unknown routes or photos are left unknown rather than inferred. It describes a spotting logbook that records each catch with date, distance and place, searchable and filterable by airline; the app’s radar range is said to expand from 15 km to 50 km through a tech tree.
