Description

As Mission Planner has ADS-B support and can display data retrieved from internet server API I would like to ask whether it is possible to enhance that feature such that it can also work with other servers and api like the one from OGN (Open Glider Network) also?

As mentioned at https://github.com/ArduPilot/MissionPlanner/pull/3251#issuecomment-4190869470 ADS-B is most of the time quite high altitude and we more often fly in spaces shared with gliders and other traffic eqipped with FLARM, FANET, etc. Thus it would be great to see them.

I implemented a very simple script that retrieves the OGN beacons and injects them into an already existing UDP mavlink connection such that if you have a UDP connection to an FC and run my script at the same time, you can see the traffic. Now I would like to use that feature on android Mission Planner also, and by far the simplest would be to just make the already existing ADSB feature compatible with OGN servers also.

Research direction

Start by locating Mission Planner’s existing ADS-B implementation and reviewing the linked PR discussion, then compare its server/API assumptions with the OGN API and the reporter’s UDP injection script. Done means OGN traffic can be retrieved and displayed through the existing feature, including the requested Android use case.
