I really liked the simplicity of the landing page, and especially liked the 'Example' flight-code, so I could search. The page it bought me to wasn't as good in my opinion - you've gone from simple to complex very quickly.

Google Earth plugin? I don't have that, do you know what market of people actually do? Perhaps you can use a basic Map API, using the GE Plugin as a an afterthought feature...

I didn't really like the usage of the Google Ads either, if you've just launched... surely the ads should be kept out until everything is ironed out?

Don't get me wrong, I believe this is awesome. Keep up the good work. :)



Thanks for the feedback :)

I am definitely intending to fallback on a standard Google Map view for the main area if Google Earth is not installed (with the link to install etc). But I figured I had to get something launched so stripped it for now!

Google Ads, yes it's a good point I'll just remove for now.


I've removed some of the fluff from the tracking page to try to make it easier to use. I hope you agree!


Getting a nice fatal error, mate. :-)


Which flight number?


Can't reply to your post below (don't know why) - I'm not sure how you got that link (I can't get it offered by the search, the time in it is wrong - hence the problem).

My contact details are in my profil if you can offer more information - really appreciate the input. :)
