Location
Trying to set a starting location. You can refine it with search, GPS, or manual latitude/longitude.
Search uses OpenStreetMap/Nominatim and then fills latitude/longitude below.
GPS needs HTTPS on most phones. You can also search for a place or enter lat/lon manually.

This notice explains how this aircraft-noise tool uses location, browser storage and aircraft data. It is a layered summary for this page.
What location is used for
  • Your latitude/longitude is used to request aircraft near your chosen position.
  • Your location is sent to this website's API while the page updates.
  • The aircraft data provider may receive the requested map area so it can return nearby aircraft.
  • Location search sends the typed search term to OpenStreetMap/Nominatim so it can return matching places.
  • On first visit, this website may request a rough IP-based location from a geolocation service so the map has a useful starting point. This rough location is saved only in your browser settings, not as GPS server data.
  • Your location is not used for advertising or analytics.
Stored on this device
  • Your chosen location.
  • Noise settings, global sensitivity and distance boundaries.
  • Map zoom/position and collapsed panel state.
  • A browser ID may be stored so settings remain consistent on this device.
Stored on the server
  • Aircraft route, metadata, airport context and photo cache.
  • Temporary API/cache data needed to return nearby aircraft and aircraft details.
Not saved on the server
  • Your GPS latitude/longitude.
  • Your exact current location.
  • Advertising, analytics or marketing tracking data.
Cookies and browser storage
  • This tool uses browser storage so the aircraft map, saved location and settings work properly.
  • No analytics cookies, advertising cookies, tracking pixels or marketing cookies are used by this tool.
External services
  • Live aircraft data comes from the selected ADS-B data provider.
  • Aircraft photos may be looked up from aircraft photo/metadata sources.
  • Nearby airport and runway context may be looked up from cached OurAirports public-domain data.
  • OpenStreetMap/OpenLayers map tiles are loaded to display the map.
