SkyRadar – live air traffic on your wrist

WARNING: The app is intended only as an in-flight aid and should not be used as a primary information source. If the app contains a barometric altimeter, it will not function in a pressurized aircraft and should not be used in a pressurized aircraft. BETA VERSION: This app is still under development and is provided for testing purposes. Errors, crashes or temporary data outages may occur. Feedback is very welcome - Please contact me via the Connect IQ Store listing. Battery notice: While in use, the app continuously downloads data at short intervals (default: every 5 seconds) via the paired smartphone. Battery life of the watch (and the phone) is therefore considerably shorter than in normal operation. SkyRadar comes in two flavors: As a standalone **app** for interactive use (zoom, pan the map, north-up/track-up at the press of a button) and as a **data field** shown directly as a data page during the Fly activity – including vibration alerts on approaching traffic, even while another data page is displayed. Both share the same settings in Garmin Connect. Tip: use the data field in flight, the app for briefing and ground observation. SkyRadar shows air traffic around your GPS position right on the watch: ADS-B, MLAT and FLARM targets with callsign, relative altitude (TCAS style), climb/descent trend and speed – plus airfields and the airspace structure (CTR, restricted areas, TMZ, RMZ, class A–D) using ICAO chart colors (switchable to FAA style). Features: - Radar view with 5 ranges (2–50 km), pannable by touch - North-up / track-up - Three-level proximity alert (green/orange/red) with vibration – distance and altitude thresholds fully configurable - Aircraft-type symbols (piston, jet, glider, helicopter) - Data-age indicator and diagnostic status **IMPORTANT:** SkyRadar is a situational-awareness aid, NOT a collision avoidance system. Data is delayed by 5–15 seconds and coverage is incomplete (not all aircraft transmit). See and avoid remains mandatory at all times. **Requirements:** Paired smartphone with internet connection and access to a SkyRadar proxy server (URL and access token are entered in the app settings in Garmin Connect).
