Its mainly designed for the 'node on the go'. For example, I have a node (simplex) in my van<br>and it has a GPS receiver that uses app_gps to report its whereabouts through APRS <br>(using APRS-IS), and in addition makes the location (including elevation) available so that<br>other parts of the system can have access to the information, if desired. Currently, the only<br>thing that takes advantage of that is a status function (4, i believe) that speaks the lat,long<br>and elevation on the air when queried. In the future, my intention was to maybe include this<br>data in the node status reporting, so that when you get list of systems it will show its exact<br>location, and maybe also tie it in with the status information passed along with things like<br>the Echolink connection, etc. Im sure that other people will think of way more creative<br>things to do with it.<br><br>JIM WB6NIL<br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2010 06:53:58 -0400<br>From: k1lnx@k1lnx.net<br>To: app_rpt-users@qrvc.com<br>Subject: [App_rpt-users] app_gps<br><br>app_gps..... I've noticed this in the latest SVN commit, what is it's planned usage exactly? I browsed through the source and sample config file and on the surface it appears APRS related? <br><br>Jim/Steve can you expand on this? Just curious :)<br>
