FANET live-tracking and messaging require either the Air3 7.3+ tablet or an 868MHz LoRa module with GxAirCom firmware.
FLARM ® can be transmitted (and in some cases received) with an XC Tracer or Air3 7.3+ tablet.
Telegram groups work with XC Guide using the XCView.net service.
General Aviation traffic using ADS-B can also be displayed when linked to a SkyEcho2 ADS-B transceiver or using the OpenSky ® service.
The main App features are:

Barometric pressure can be obtained either from an internal sensor or via a Bluetooth vario, i.e. SkyDrop, XC-Tracer ®, BlueFly, MipBip+ or GxAirCom.
2) A list of pilots.
Showing aircraft type (or photo), relative direction, tracker type and status messages. Contacts permission is requested if the integrated contact features are used.
3) A Google map.
