Max Planes
Description
Max Planes 2.1 for Mac was available to download from the developer's website when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this app available. Max Planes for Mac is included in Lifestyle Tools. This free Mac application was originally produced by Max Technology Labs PTY LTD. We recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus.
From the developer:
Max Planes decodes the data from ADS-B transponders and plots the data on a map. You need to connect a USB device and run a BEAST server (such as Dump1090 Mac Server) in order to view this data. Then, you connect to another computer running Dump1090 over a local area network to watch the planes it sees. There is no need for the Internet to view live data from planes.
You can see the altitude (not position) of planes in the spotting list.
You may want to check out more software for Mac, such as Max Payne 3, Pocket Planes or Max & the Magic Marker HD, which might be similar to Max Planes.
