The Flyover Country mobile app builds on the recent successes the geoinformatics community has made in improving the interoperability of geoscience databases and tools. The app visualizes data from many different geoscience disciplines in a map-based view that works worldwide. All data can be saved offline, which is useful in outreach (airplane window seat, roadtrip, or hike), research (bringing data into remote field areas), and education (self-guided field trips). The ability to easily visualize data from several geoscience disciplines simultaneously can prompt new hypothesis and lead to new discoveries. Flyover Country continues to add new data sources and expand the reach of the app, with aims of providing geoscience information to the inflight entertainment systems of airlines in the future.

飞掠国度（Flyover Country）移动应用依托地理信息学界近期在提升地球科学数据库与工具互操作性方面取得的成果。该应用以基于地图的可视化界面展示多门地球科学学科的数据，支持全球范围内使用。所有数据均可离线保存，适用于科普推广（如搭乘飞机靠窗座位、公路旅行或户外徒步场景）、科研工作（将数据带入偏远野外区域）以及教学活动（自主规划野外考察）。其支持同时可视化多门地球科学学科数据的功能，能够催生新的科学假说并推动新的科研发现。目前飞掠国度团队仍在持续新增数据源、拓展应用覆盖范围，未来目标是将地球科学信息接入航空公司的机载娱乐系统。
