Being quite new to FlightAware I am slightly confused.
My Adroid app defaults to a map view of my current location but if I log on via the web I get options for random flight, random operator, browse by (various options).
Is there an obvious option I am missing allowing me to choose a location so as to view local air traffic?
No, just if I log on to flightaware.com but I think I am getting used to it. Just have to enlarge and position the map myself rather than have a default location.
