Flight tracker
Track any airplane live on a map by its callsign (e.g. AFR064) or tail number (e.g. N12345). Position, altitude, and speed update automatically on every check.
What it is for
Use this widget to follow a specific flight in real time. Enter the ICAO callsign and the widget polls the OpenSky Network for the current position, altitude, and ground speed. The result is displayed on a full-screen map or as a plain text coordinate string.
How to add it
- Click + Add widget and search for the callsign directly (e.g. type
AFR064) or select Flight Tracker from the list. - Enter the callsign or aircraft registration.
- Choose a display type: Map (default) or Text.
- Save. The widget fetches the current position immediately.
Configuration
| Field | Description |

| Label | Display name on the widget. |
| Callsign / tail number | ICAO callsign (e.g. SWA1234) or aircraft registration (e.g. N12345). |

Coverage
Position data comes from the OpenSky Network, a community-run ADS-B network. Coverage is best over Europe and North America. Flights in regions with few ground receivers (remote ocean, central Asia) may show no data while airborne.
Map themes
The map adapts to your dashboard theme automatically: light base map for light themes, dark base map for dark themes.
