This sure works great for seeing just how far those packets can travel from 30,000 feet ASL. The St John's, NL network is picking up the balloon from over 400 kms away.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715482024948994974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631429776292642259.post-570120901740808972009-03-09T08:48:00.000+02:002009-03-09T08:48:00.000+02:00Joe: Thank you, I'm happy you like it!

All of the embeddable map options are listed at <A HREF="http://aprs.fi/page/embed" REL="nofollow">http://aprs.fi/page/embed</A>.<BR/><BR/>Jon: Yup, you could do a web UI on localhost, but due to the programming languages and database used on aprs.fi, it's not really feasible to make a desktop version from the same codebase. It would be a separate project, and quite a big one.<BR/><BR/>Using OpenStreetMaps is becoming a very good options in many countries. I've looked at using it on aprs.fi, but haven't done the rewrapping yet. It's quite some work, since I'm using the widgets provided by the gmaps API a lot. It would definitely be good for a desktop application (providing a wizard to download and prerender maps for a selected area).Hessuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550787353137508264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631429776292642259.post-61890721182183522702009-03-09T04:13:00.000+02:002009-03-09T04:13:00.000+02:00Thank you for all that you do.

Being dependent on on-line maps would probably not be acceptable, though. However, Openstreetmap is making excellent progress, the data is open and could be pre-rendered. But I'm sure switching from Google Maps would be a lot of work.<BR/><BR/>Jon LA4RT, Trondheim, NorwayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631429776292642259.post-15438834945269590222009-03-01T16:20:00.000+02:002009-03-01T16:20:00.000+02:00VE6SRV: Yes, I've thought about it, but I don't ha...VE6SRV: Yes, I've thought about it, but I don't have time to do everything that would be interesting.
