just kidding those are deff. the airport icons, it would not have near enough room to fit in all the airplanes flying at the same time...but it would be cool if it could...

I've noticed this too. They are not the POI's, I checked (POI's look different). When you click on them, all it says is the town name.

You guys, he's not BS-ing! I tried it today and you can really see airplanes! I was skeptical at first but I really saw airplanes. And no...it's not the airport POI because there were several planes in one cluster so I highly doubt there'd be that many airports in one small area.

I'll take a pic and post it here soon!

I just tried it too. Not airport icons... you can't click on them. They're just... planes. And they're just chillin' there. Weird haha.

Please post a pic. I zoomed out and all I saw was airport POI icons, and YES there are several small airports clustered together in many urban areas.

Just last night as I was driving near LAX an air traffic controller broke in on my ML/NAV and advised me of "traffic, ten-o-clock, altitude unknown". I thanked him and told him I would be looking!!

Well, I definitely saw an airplane in the middle of a nearby lake.
