1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving unmanned aircraft system (UAS) location data for a plurality of UASs which are currently in flight;
determining, based on the UAS location data, at least one proximate UAS from the plurality of UASs, wherein the at least one proximate UAS is within an area surrounding a computing device;
causing the computing device to display a map of the area surrounding the computing device;
detecting, based on the UAS location data, at least one breach of a geofence by the at least one proximate UAS, wherein the geofence bounds a virtual region in the area surrounding the computing device;
determining a time-restricted subset of the UAS location data to display based on a current time, wherein the time-restricted subset of the UAS location data comprises only locations traversed by the UAS within a fixed amount of time preceding the current time; and
in response to detecting the at least one breach of the geofence, causing the map to display a graphical representation of the time-restricted subset of the UAS location data for the at least one proximate UAS, wherein the graphical representation of the time-restricted subset of the UAS location data excludes the UAS location data for locations traversed by the UAS more than the fixed amount of time before the current time.
