i have a HTC Wildfire phone and did some searching of the net and found aprsdroid<br>a program to send aprs packets to APRS-IS...uses the internal GPS function<br>used my phone and found it and d/l and installed it<br><br>
very easy to set up...<br>it has 2 modes...one shot and tracking...<br>the one shot just sends one packet....very handy for checking if you have your set up correct<br>the 'start tracking' sends the packets to APRS-IS at the time in your config<br>
it works very very well.....<br>as im 20km north of the main city of Townsville i turned it on and put the phone in its pouch on my belt<br>about 5 and half hours later on returning home i was able to see the track on Xastir<br>
of course i had to use 'stop tracking' else it would keep on sending while on the shack bench<br><br> a great way to have a tracker without having to get all the hardware and mount it in the new car<br><br>there is also a APRS Viewer available.....very beta ..needs some more work<br>
<br>FYI...Echolink is also available for droids<br><br>73 David VK4BDJ<br>_______________________________________________<br>OZAPRS mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OZAPRS@aprs.net.au" target="_blank">OZAPRS@aprs.net.au</a><br>
