Two ADS-B receivers. One in a in , one in . Both decode 1090 MHz Mode S off dump1090. Every marker is a position one of them is hearing right now, colored by which one caught it. Arrowheads point along the track.

Two sites, no overlap
The stations are far enough apart that the map is two separate coverage bubbles rather than one picture. The Florida site looks out over flat water; the Indiana site is inland with trees around it, and the difference in range is visible.
