Does it blip planes when the radar scan rolls over them and they stay in a static position but fade until the next sweep? That would be so cool.

Would also be amazing to look at device current gps altitude and location to determine the visible skyline per azimuth based on openstreetmap buildings and hills/elevation around your current position and altitude... then you can show it on the map as a radar occlusion [1] - like a fish finder when you go over a log, or ship radar occluded by another vessel.

I'm sure you'd cause some industry people to scratch their head and wonder how the phone is doing radial scanning

I love all these ideas - my app is very much the Pareto version of the potential 100% complete version
