About OGN Viewer - FLARM Radar APK

Description

What is OGN:
The "Open Glider Network" (OGN) is a network of HF receivers maintained by gliding enthusiasts mainly in europe which listen to signals of flarm devices (or compatible) and OGN trackers. The "OGN Viewer" connects to the OGN and visualises the received data.

How to use:
The area the OGN viewer shows is given by the aprs filter. You can choose between "Moving APRS filter" and "Manual filter" (see in the settings).
The "Moving APRS filter" an area around the current point. The area is visualized by a red circle (dotted line). You can set the radius. If you change your position, the circle is automatically updated.
If you set the "Manual filter", you can create the area by (long) pressing on the map. The dialog offers you the manual filter string for a circle with radius of 100km. If you confirm the dialog, the area is visualized by a red circle (continuous line).

Start the OGN viewer and set up the aprs filter. If you leave the filter empty you will see the whole OGN traffic and this could make the app slow. If you make a long click on the map, the filter dialog will appear with a filter for the range 100km around the point you clicked.

How to use with XCSoar:
With OGN viewer you can feed the OGN stream to XCSoar. GPS has to be enabled. Also enable the "TCP server" in the settings. Then start XCSoar and add an additional NMEA input under Config->Devices->Edit:

Port: TCP client
IP Address: localhost
TCP Port: 4353
Driver: Flarm

Notes:
1. the current version of XCSoar cannot handle multiple Flarm sources. So if XCSoar is already connected with a "real" Flarm this feature will not work.
2. targets up to 2km are not shown. Look out!

Aircraft details
For some gliders detailed information are shown: registration, competition sign and model. If for a glider only a cryptic id is shown (e.g. "DD4711" or "3D0815"), you can fix it:
- just tap on the id and fill in the informations in the upcoming dialog (these informations are stored on your device only)
- if you are the owner of the glider, just go to the "OGN devices db" (http://ddb.glidernet.org) and fill in the informations (these information are visible to all users of this app)
- if you aren't the owner but you know the owner, just ask the owner to fill in the informations to the "OGN devices db"

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
