FlyoverGPS is an offline (or online) mapping app that allows caching of OpenStreetMaps, Nokia Satellite or Google Maps Tiles for offline viewing, as in "Airplane Mode" without a Network connection. It displays a flyover map of your plane's location when in flight if your device hardware is capable of getting a GPS fix while in the air. It is optimized for airline passenger use when flying, also displaying
-speed
-altitude
-heading
in english or metric units, or can be configured to display heading in compass degrees or speed in knots. This app can also be used to cache maps for offline use in any travel situation, or is perfectly capable of displaying your position and direction with a network connection.
GPSTest included, as GPS fixes in an airplane without benefit of network triangulation can be problematic. The best results that have been reported involve a southern exposure window seat, although newer phones seem to be much better at achieving a GPS fix than older ones. I would be interested in comments documenting this behavior.
Finally, be aware that while most airlines do expressly allow GPS receivers to be used during the cruise portion of the flight, some do not. The in-flight use of electronic devices is always subject to the final decision of the Captain and Flight crew.

GPSTest包括在内,如GPS固定在飞机上没有网络三角测量的好处是有问题的。已报道的最好结果涉及朝南靠窗的座位,虽然新手机似乎是达到比旧的GPS定位要好得多。我有兴趣的评论记录此行为。
最后,要知道,虽然大多数航空公司都明确允许飞行的巡航部分时使用的GPS接收器,有些则没有。在飞机上使用电子设备总是受到船长和机组人员的最后决定。</div> <div class="show-more-end">
