So, I noticed that if open NEXRAD Animate in flight, I also get a count of ADS-B towers. (In the NEXRAD pop-up button.) I get an asterisk next to the number. (So far, I've always gotten the asterisk.)

Please, what's it mean?

Asterisk means there are multiple frames, which means you can Animate. If no asterisk, then you only have one frame, and can't animate. It's crude I know.

On our short-list is adding the Tower Count in more places, easier to find.
