Live flight tracker
Every plane on the map is a real aircraft in the air right now. Click any of them to see the flight number, airline, aircraft type, where it came from and where it is going, plus its altitude and speed.
Click any point on the map to see the details. Data: adsb.lol (ODbL), The OpenSky Network, routes: VRS standing data. At their owners' request we do not show aircraft in privacy programmes (LADD, PIA).
Open the full mapWhat you see when you click a plane
Departure and arrival airport, how much of the trip is done and how long until landing.
Aircraft type such as a Boeing 737-800, registration and airline.
Current altitude in metres and feet, ground speed, and whether it is climbing or descending.
One click and the map follows the plane. The closer you zoom, the bigger it gets.
How we know where a plane is
Most airliners keep broadcasting their position, altitude and speed by radio. The system is called ADS-B. Thousands of antennas run by enthusiasts around the world pick up those signals, and we put them on the map.
Positions refresh every few seconds, and in between each plane glides smoothly along its heading and speed. Over oceans and deserts there are fewer antennas, so you may see fewer planes there than are really flying.
The route (origin and destination) comes from the flight number. It is the most likely route, so charter and unusual flights may differ from what is shown.
We run our own antenna in Poland
We don't just use other people's data. Since October 2026 we have been running our own ADS-B receiving station in Reda, near Gdańsk in northern Poland: a 1090 MHz antenna mounted 25 metres above the ground and a receiver wired to our own server. It picks up planes up to almost 300 km away, over the Baltic Sea and the whole Pomerania region.
Everything it hears goes straight into the open adsb.lol network that this map uses. That makes planes over northern Poland more precise on the map, and it is our way of giving something back to free flight data for everyone.
FAQ
Is the flight map free?
Yes. You can watch live planes, routes and flight details for free, without creating an account.
How do I see which plane is flying over me?
Tap the location button on the map or type your city into the search box, then click a plane. You will see the flight number, route, altitude and aircraft type.
Why can't I see some planes?
Some aircraft do not transmit ADS-B, or fly where there are no antennas, for example over the ocean. We also hide aircraft whose owners asked for privacy, and planes on the ground.
How often do positions update?
We fetch data every few seconds, and between updates planes move smoothly along their heading and speed.
Does Zenitmap have its own antenna?
Yes. Our ADS-B station in Reda, northern Poland, picks up planes up to almost 300 km away and feeds the adsb.lol network that the map uses. The rest of the world is covered by thousands of antennas run by other enthusiasts.
