This display shows the aircraft AIS beacons at different flight levels that I have received. It continually updates as time passes. It would be interesting to see a similar display of APRS stations received directly.

I've been doing this for years!     I have live on-line maps showing APRS activity, as monitored off-the-air in central Michigan.  Separate maps show ONLY off-the-air RX on 2-meters, , the ISS digi, 30-meters HF and 60-meters HF --  not the Internet feed.            Go to:

   <http://WA8LMF.net/map> <http://WA8LMF.net/map>    

to view the various mapping webservers.    Actually one display does show the Internet and off-air reception combined.   The map called "2 Meters VHF" shows the off-the-air RX only. The one called "Special Events Webserver" uses the identical map image, but shows off-air and APRS-IS Internet feed combined.  It's a dramatic demonstration of the diversity receive effect of combining multiple receive sites via the APRS-IS vs a single receive site.

My example shows more than just stations on the map. It shows where stations have been heard directly regardless of stations aging out. It is an ever growing depiction of heard areas.
