ADSB towers on chart

Does seeing ADSB tower symbols on a chart indicate reception, or that there is just one located there?

Re: ADSB towers on chart

I'm almost positive it's towers that are currently being rec'd. It seems to match up with the displayed active tower count, and I believe the ADS-B transmission includes the lat/lon.

Re: ADSB towers on chart

We don't actually database the towers. The icon indicates we have received a signal from that tower. It will flash blue/red when it is actively receiving data from that tower.
