viz1090 for Debian
------------------

Before you start, you will need to build the mapdata.bin using the
/usr/lib/viz1090/getmaps.sh script. The download link of arcgis is broken,
download manually from
https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/usdot::runways/about
For your convenience you can also get the needed files from
https://github.com/alexmyczko/viz1090-data

git clone https://github.com/alexmyczko/viz1090-data.git
cd viz1090-data
cp airport* map* /usr/lib/viz1090/

After running dump1090-mutability, you would launch viz1090 with something like:
viz1090 --screensize 640 360 --fullscreen --server adsb --lat 47.6 --lon -122.3

If you don't have your own feed you can also try
viz1090 --server adsb.1090mhz.uk --port 30005 --metric --uiscale 2
