Plane Finder AR (augmented reality) iPhone and Android apps from  UK-based Pinkfroot display aircraft transmitting ADS-B Out signals.  Touching the aircraft image brings up its ID, type, operator’s name,  altitude, groundspeed, heading and more. When the device’s camera is  pointed at a visible overflying aircraft, the AR integrates the  smartphone’s GPS position with the aircraft’s altitude and its ADS-B’s  GPS position to display bearing, distance and the same full data block.
