Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving aircraft transponder signals. Identifying, from among the aircraft transponder signals, a first aircraft transponders signal based on an identifier, wherein the identifier indicates that the first aircraft transponder signal is associated with an aircraft on which the computing system is located. Identifying first location data within the first aircraft transponder signal. Generating second location data by converting the first location data to a format recognizable by a geographic mapping application, where the second location data is readable by the geographic mapping application to permit the geographic mapping application to present a graphical representation of a geographical location of the aircraft as represented by the first location data. Providing the second location data to the geographic mapping application for presentation to a user.
