GMaps Flight Tracker - first version released

Today we released the first version of GMaps Flight Tracker.

GMaps Flight Tracker shows incoming flights for some busy US airports (Atlanta, Boston, ...) using data provided by fboweb.com. The data provided is based on position reports for each aircraft in general once per minute.

We are working on full Internet Explorer support (showing waypoint information in a fast way- anyway the over-all performance with Firefox is better right now so feel free to use Firefox for a great Flight Tracker experience.
