Actualfunctions basedonthis extended connectivity are being added andactivelydeveloped,so you'll want to watch our Forum, Website, andthe PlayStore forupdates. This Avare External I/O Plugin requiresthe freeAvareapp, which should be installed first. You can findAvare onGooglePlay in the list of our free apps under the "Morefromdeveloper"section below.

NOTES: *Based on manufacturerandcarrierimplementations, Android devices handle AirplaneModedifferently.If you use Avare in Airplane Mode, theBluetoothtransceiver inyour device may or MAY NOT be active. It'spossiblethat ifBluetooth isn't working on your device after youactivateAirportMode, it may work if you simply turn on Bluetoothagainwhile inAirplane Mode. You could also further investigate howyourdeviceactually handles airplane mode with a free tool suchasAirplaneMode Modifier. *In many locations, little or noADS-Breception maybe available, especially on the ground, so youmayneed to beflying at or above 3,000' AGL to receive ADS-B data.Ifso, you maybe able to receive at least the data from anylong-haulairlinerspassing overhead transmitting ADS-B Out.
