Find
A list sorted by distance takes you from the whole picture to a single aircraft. Hide ground traffic or pin a plane to highlight it within the area.

01 / By the runway, or anywhere else
Your viewpoint on the sky.
Start at Barcelona–El Prat without granting location access. You can also use GPS, pick one of eleven airports or enter your own coordinates. The radar turns with you while labels stay upright; you can also keep north fixed.
Zoom
Choose 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100 km with the controls or crown. From the immediate runway surroundings to more distant traffic.
Inspect
Open an aircraft to see registration, type, altitude and speed. Departure and arrival airports appear when a compatible published route is available.
02 / Inside the watch
One radar. The details that matter.
Choose your scale
Six physical ranges in kilometres, with an explanation for each.
Discover the destination
The detail screen brings together aircraft data and the available route. Routes may be missing or out of date.
03 / A work in progress
Built out of curiosity. Using real data.
A personal prototype written in Kotlin, using native Android views and a Canvas radar. It runs independently: the watch needs Internet access, but no account, API keys or phone app. It is not available in an app store yet.
No ads or analytics in the app
Preferences stay on the watch; traffic and routes stay in memory. adsb.lol receives your IP address and the selected centre. Route providers receive your IP address and the callsign. A manual centre lets you explore without GPS permission.
A window onto available traffic
Coverage depends on the providers: an empty radar does not mean an empty sky. Routes load progressively and are not operational confirmation. There is no global search, history or tracking outside the selected area.
