AirScanner: Real-Time ADS-B Flight Tracker

AirScanner turns your Garmin watch into a powerful, wrist-based flight tracker. Designed specifically for aviation enthusiasts, plane spotters, and curious hikers, this app scans the skies around your current GPS position and displays live flight data directly on your watch. No phone-fiddling required - just look at your wrist.

Key Features:
Automatic Proximity Scan: Using your watch's GPS, AirScanner identifies aircraft within a "hearable" radius (approx. 20-50km) around you.

Live Flight Table: View a clean, scrollable list of nearby aircraft including Model (e.g., A320, B747), Altitude, and Distance from your current location.

Deep-Dive Details: Tap any flight to see extended information:
- Callsign & Registration
- Country of Origin
- Current Altitude (ft)
- Current Ground Speed (kn)
- Distance from own position (km)

Unlike heavy smartphone apps, AirScanner is built for the "glance." Whether you are on a terrace, in your backyard, or atop a mountain, the app provides the most relevant data for the planes you can actually see and hear in your immediate vicinity.

Technical Details & Data:
AirScanner utilizes live ADS-B data provided by community-driven networks.

Connectivity: Requires a Bluetooth connection to your smartphone for data fetching via the Garmin Connect app.

Privacy: This app does not track your personal data. GPS is used locally on the device to calculate the proximity bounding box for aircraft.

Battery: Optimized for low energy consumption. The app only polls data when active.

How to use:
- Open the AirScanner Widget/App.
- Wait for a GPS.
- The app will automatically fetch the nearest flights.
- Scroll with the Up/Down buttons or Touchscreen.
- Select a flight with the Start/Stop button to see the detailed view.
