LiveTraffic relies on OpenSky to provide aircraft master data (based on ICAO hex code) and route information (based on call sign). Both could be missing or wrong and then people aren't happy and complain.
Suggested Solution
Provide update links right from within LiveTraffic, so that good samaritans can do those updates at OpenSky easier.
Alternatives
Anyone with an OpenSky user can update OpenSky using their Aircraft database or, for route information, opening a link of the format https://opensky-network.org/add-route?callsign=<callsign>.
Benefits
More updates on OpenSky leading to more reliable data shown by LiveTraffic.
