"Installed it, I like the idea of it. Execution is lacking. No airport search that I could see and unable to download maps for offline use despite a very reliable connection."

"I fly for a living. Using this app is exciting to know the fossil history and other historic facts of the cities you`re flying over. It would be great if the app was able to connect through airline free wifi as well."

"When able to pick up GPS it works pretty good, unfortunately on about half the flights the GPS signal is never acquired or is lost in mid flight."

"I use this when driving, hiking, and flying. I love following the geology of an area at such a fine scale, as each hill can have a different origin here in western Oregon. Seeing all the faults is exciting in terms of understanding the topography of the terrain. The developers were very friendly and helpful when I was having issues loading the software in early 2018."

DESCRIPTION
The window is the best kind of in-flight entertainment. Track your flight with GPS - discover the world below with offline maps and POI.
Learn about the world along the path of your flight, hike, or road trip with GPS tracking. Offline geologic maps and interactive points of interest reveal the locations of fossils and georeferenced Wikipedia articles visible from your airplane window seat, road trip, or hiking trail vista.
Follow Flyover Country for updates and photos from the sky!

Flyover Country is a National Science Foundation-funded offline mobile app for geoscience outreach and data discovery. The app exposes interactive geologic maps from Macrostrat.org, fossil localities from Neotomadb.org and Paleobiodb.org, Wikipedia articles, offline base maps, and the user’s current GPS determined location, altitude, speed, and heading. The app analyzes a given flight path and caches relevant map data and points of interest (POI), and displays these data during the flight, without in-flight wifi. By downloading only the data relevant to a particular flight path, cache sizes remain reasonable, allowing for a robust experience without an internet connection.
Flyover Country is not limited to the window seat of airplanes. It is also ideal for road trips, hiking, and other outdoor activities such as field trips and geologic fieldwork.
**GPS functionality is only possible from the window seat and GPS reception quality varies by device/conditions**
