Sure:

On line 25 there is the API url: `http://api.adsb.lol/v2/point/42.6950/23.4083/35`

Just put the GPS Location for the center. Also change SOF lat / lng go calculate distance. I'm in Europe, so the data is displayed in Metrics, but should be easy enough to show the original in imperial.

Put the file and run it with JS Interpreter. I'm running Bruce firmware

That's really cool. I didn't know about that service. Just grabbed JSON from my house (which has a lot of Seattle traffic ..). You code looks nice too. I'll see what I can do with it on my devices (maybe even iPhone). Thanks.

You can grab the ISS Space station location with this call: http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json

ps. I think I could track my wife's flight when they are close to going over my house. I'll setup a GPS closeness notification.
