    The more I play with the thing, the more things I discover. Its really a fun website and app.
    Kinda reminds me of FlightRadar24 and vesselfinder.com ; have spent far too many hours with those 2 as well...

    Play around with the timescale and buttons at the bottom for some neat animation projections.

    Very cool page and app! Sadly seems the app is missing the option of playback, so you can see the animation move hour by hour.

    Getting busy out there but nothing that effects you or me yet. Wouldn't surprise me if we don't get something soon though. Mid August and the Philippines has yet to be hit by a typhoon.

    This one is taking an unusual route, trying to get into HK via the backdoor without being seen by the shield. Winds of 75kph but intensifying.

    I wonder what mapping data they use for zoomed in maps. Doesn't look like Openstreetmap.

    100% open streetmap.
    I recognize the paths and roads that I personally mapped out.

    Oh yes, you're right, I was glancing at the wrong neighbourhood.
