In an era where precision and reliability are paramount in aviation tracking, RadarBox.com continues to push boundaries, unveiling a groundbreaking GPS accuracy feature. Thanks to an innovative representation system and meticulous analysis of GPS positions, users can delve deeper into aircraft positioning with enhanced clarity and confidence.

Decoding GPS Accuracy with H3 Grid

Central to RadarBox.com's GPS accuracy feature is its utilization of the H3 representation system. This innovative framework discretizes the Earth's surface into a grid of hexagons, enabling granular analysis of aircraft positions. RadarBox.com assigns a value to each hexagon by scrutinizing ADS-B messages, indicating the probability of positional inaccuracies.

Navigating through Probabilities

While red hexagons may initially raise concerns, it's crucial to decipher their significance accurately. A red hexagon doesn't denote wholesale inaccuracies but signals that a notable proportion (> 10%) of data reports low GPS accuracy. Various factors contribute to such discrepancies, ranging from adverse weather conditions to deliberate attempts at concealing aircraft positions.
