My go to app for flight tracking is https://www.flightradar24.com
I do have a USB radio with an external antenna that receives raw ADSB signals, works with a different app, but can feed FR24. Usually just jump on FR24 when curious about what's going on or tracking the grandson's CAP flights.

Cool
There’s also an app that shows all airplanes in the air.
I lost track of my app so to speak.
Do you have that?
There’s one that just shows the yellow silhouette (different sizes) and it’s movement as you watch.
And then there’s one that has you on the flight deck with Google Earth and it’s what the crew sees out of the front window and also a few gauges.
It will take you into an airport almost to touch down.

If you go to settings (gear icon) and plug in your coordinates (Long/Lat), you can see what specific Satellites would be servicing your location. As well as the ground stations nearest you.
Lots of pizza boxes up there.
That's a fantastic marine mapping site. Very cool.
Those maps always make it look like you could almost walk across the ocean from deck to deck... until you realize those eye-readable ship icons are the size of Los Angeles.
I've been testing for SpaceX's Starlink over a year now. Every time I show people the map of the satellites, they say "that's crazy, the sky is full of those things, he (Musk) needs to stop". Then you explain that the dots they can see show the Satellites about 50miles in diameter, when in reality they are the size of a large pizza box... and moving a lot faster than the ships.
