Planeplotter "MySky" view alternatives ?

I've been using a Flightaware dongle on a PC with Planeplotter for years and have not followed other software developments.

Having converted to Piaware now feeding planeplotter (still on a PC), I was wondering if there were any other software that offered the MySky type view. All the graphics I've seen show planes on a map but I'm looking for something approaching the view on an Augmented Reality that you find on a phone, but for it to work on a PC with lat/lons entered.

Any ideas ?

I'm not sure I even understand "augmented reality", but I suspect that all most of us want is "planes on a map".

So given the likely lack of marketing potential (=profit)  for any new PC display of Piaware, etc output, I doubt it.

Personally I am pleased that the few examples of legacy "planes on a map" software still work.

Pointing a phone at a trail and getting a result seems like a magic trick to me   ;)

PlaneFinder and FR24 have been doing that trick for nearly 10 years.

And I know of many who use the feature a lot.  But I'm not one of them.
