Its mainly designed for the 'node on the go'. For example, I have a node (simplex) in my van and it has a GPS receiver that uses app_gps to report its whereabouts through APRS (using APRS-IS), and in addition makes the location (including elevation) available so that other parts of the system can have access to the information, if desired. Currently, the only thing that takes advantage of that is a status function (4, i believe) that speaks the lat,long and elevation on the air when queried. In the future, my intention was to maybe include this data in the node status reporting, so that when you get list of systems it will show its exact location, and maybe also tie it in with the status information passed along with things like the Echolink connection, etc. Im sure that other people will think of way more creative things to do with it.

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?
Jim/Steve can you expand on this? Just curious :)
tnx and 73 Stephen K1LNX
