Flight Map uses a phone’s GPS to show your position, altitude, speed and estimated arrival time during a flight, without Wi-Fi, mobile data or an account.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-18 issue.
For
Air travelers without a seat-back screen
Worth noticing
When GPS drops out, it labels the route estimate as roughly within 30 nautical miles and gives an arrival-time range.

Field notes

Before boarding, users can download published aviation reports and arrival-airport weather for offline viewing. The page says the phone’s GPS may lose reception away from windows and that battery-saver settings can switch it off with the screen dark. If reception drops, the app labels its route estimate as uncertain; several logbook and trip features are marked Pro.
