OpenStreetMap data tends to be quite good for airports, since OSM have the option of using Bing aerial imagery and runway/taxiway/stand numbers tend to be readily visible from aerial photos. | |||
Features available in this map include: | |||
* Historical tracks ("breadcrumbs") showing movement of aircraft over time | |||
* Label decluttering, meaning that in a crowded area each aircraft's label will be visible, and each aircraft symbol will be visible | |||
* Colour schemes: stationary aircraft are grey, and you can give each aircraft symbol its own random colour to distinguish them in a crowded space. When you select an aircraft its label and trail will become bright red. | |||
