I've been doing a rather big upgrade on the real-time map code. I have it using version 3 of the Google Maps Javascript API, which better supports the Apple iPad, and there are fixes for the iPhone, too.Another big thing is that I've added Street View support. The Track in Street View link in the info balloon of a moving vehicle will give you a first-person view of how things look from the driver's point. The camera is pointed to the direction where the vehicle is moving, if it's course is available.
If the station is not transmitting a course, the camera will point from the panorama picture's center coordinates (where Google's camera was when the panorama was taken) to the exact coordinates transmitted by the stations. This implies that clicking on a house symbol of someone's home station will often open up a photo of that house (with antennas on top).
These features are now being tested on the beta.aprs.fi site. There are probably some bugs left – please let me know if you find any! The intention is to fix them before the new (substantially different) code is installed on the production aprs.fi servers.
More details can be found in the user guide.
