Flying is pretty exciting but there are huge stretches of land that are full of pretty much nothing. No towns, no interesting land forms, nothing. Just, well, land. At least that’s what it looks like from so far above it. If you really want to know what’s below you as you pass, the app Flyover Country will keep you informed.

This app lets you know what’s out there as you pass by or through it. Input the information for your flightpath and you can download information about the places you’re flying over. Not just cities and towns by nearby fossil finds and the makeup of the earth.

The information is pulled from a variety of online and scientific sources to give you a fuller picture of what is happening below you. You can also use this app for long drives or even just hikes to learn more about the area you’re passing through. This app is free and works for both Apple and Android products. Learn more about the places you’re moving through with Flyover Country.
