New changes made to FleetWatch through Google Earth
Last night we pushed some new changes to the servers... some of it we can't quite talk about yet :-) However, some of the more useful features are the improvements to the FleetWatch tracking through Google Earth.
Google Earth is an amazing situational awareness tool when it comes to tracking fleets of aircraft. If you've never played with it, you should download it immediately...! In short, it's a three dimensional view of the earth linked to Google's search database. In addition to that, third parties can plug in all sorts of useful add-ons, not the least of which are fboweb.com's own Flight Tracking services.
The thumbnail image here illustrates 
some of the new changes and improvements to the FleetWatch tracking through Google Earth. For one, the fleet names are now more clearly indicated in the left-hand-side of the Google Earth application; this helps users who are tracking more than one fleet at a time identify which fleet is which. Secondly, in the "description" section of each fleet (in that same column) there's a link that users can click on which will open up a "browser" panel right in Google Earth and display a detailed text listing of each aircraft in the fleet list, along with particular details of each flight - ie, altitude, origin and destination airports, aircraft owner, current controlling center, etc.
In short, if you haven't played around with Google Earth and fboweb.com, you should definitely go give it a shot now. There's even a Google Earth Primer that shows some examples of what the system is capable of when used in conjunction with fboweb.com.
