A user accesses a server using a client. The client provides an identification code which serves to uniquely identify a remote sensor. The remote sensor is capable of providing information related to its position. The server interrogates the remote sensor and, in response, the remote sensor transmits positioning data to the server where it is analyzed to derive the location of the remote sensor. The location so determined is transmitted from the server to the client and is displayed at the client so that the user can identify the location of the remote sensor. The client and the server may be connected to a computer network and the client may use a web browser to interrogate the server. The remote sensor may be a SNAPSHOT GPS receiver or other GPS receiver or positioning device. The user display may be a simple position report, e.g., latitude and longitude, or a graphical report which provides an indication of the remote sensor's location superimposed on a map or other reference.

A computer program product, comprising: instructions for displaying a map showing the flight path of the aircraft and a plurality of selectable point of interest identifiers associated with features proximal to the flight path during a flight; instructions for receiving a request to scroll the map in a direction; instructions for scrolling the map in a the direction; instructions for displaying the scrolled map, the scrolled map comprising a plurality of selectable point of interest identifiers associated with additional points of interest; instructions for receiving a selection of a selectable point of interest identifier wherein the selection of the selectable point of interest identifier can be made throughout the flight; instructions for retrieving data associated with said received selected point of interest identifier; and instructions for displaying said retrieved data. 14. The product of claim 13, further comprising instructions for receiving a request to display a map. 15.
