About OGN AR Viewer
OGN AR Viewer displays aircraft around you using the Open Glider Network and an augmented reality view. You can keep a private directory of aircraft belonging to your club or friends and see how far away they are.
To find nearby aircraft, the app sends your location to OGN in clear text, with its accuracy reduced to about five kilometers first. It is an experimental client for Android.
