Yes, and contrary to the article it has a google maps display, too. Try "./dump1090 --net --interactive" and open localhost:8080. Would be neat if it could query some API to find out the flight's origin and destination, etc (flightradar24 maybe? do they have an API?)


The web interface on the dump1090 fork shipped by FlightAware has links to lookup flight information for each aircraft:

Google started blocking the mechanism used by the dump1090 map display. It might work if you have used it previously but not for new users: http://discussions.flightaware.com/ads-b-flight-tracking-f21...

The FlightAware fork now uses an OpenLayers map instead: https://discussions.flightaware.com/ads-b-flight-tracking-f2...


Thanks for the link, that looks nice! I used dump1090 for the first time this weekend and simply ran it from localhost, it worked fine.
