That was what I was saying... it does not appear complete in its world coverage but I do think it is really a cool start.

The most common passenger aircraft in PNG are Bombardier (Dash and Twin Otter) - neither of which carry ADS-B transmitters. It's a similar situation in a lot of those areas you mention, There are also no ADS-B receiver sites in PNG linked to that system. I can watch Air Niugini Airbuses leaving Australia and disappearing as they cross the Coral Sea. The coverage on the map says more about where ADS-B receivers and FAA stations are and what type of aircraft are in use more than anything else.
