### More about Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast

ADS-B uses data from onboard systems, typically including satellite-derived position, and transmits it for suitably equipped receivers.

It differs from conventional radar detection. Public tracking maps can show only the information they receive and process, so the absence of a symbol does not establish the absence of an aircraft.
