For the FR24 realtime tracking, there may also be programming that guesses where aircraft are when reception drops out intermittently;
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to post URLs to share recorded by FR24 data of our flight but believe me it's totally inaccurate for the whole flight from take off until landing. It's displayed ZERO altitude while we're flying 1500 for 12 minutes.
