Anywhere on the web where you can "track" amateurs movements that have this in their car??
I have done a search on APRS but no "real time" maps for the Perth Area spring up??
Any idea's where you can view it live??

Amateurs usually use a program called UIView for live mapping and I have a set of Perth maps for it.

In Perth there's not a lot of activity at all. It's big in NSW and Victoria.ConstableCare wrote:Thanks for that Gav....

I thought that you still had it with the Uniden GPS 301 on your dash... Is that where you take the data from to feed the APRS?vk6hgr wrote:I'll put APRS tracking back in the car one of these daysConstableCare wrote:Hmm ok... Not good!

I planned to, but the GPS301's output isn't exactly RS-232 compatible so it doesn't work and I'd have to use another GPS receiver.ConstableCare wrote: I thought that you still had it with the Uniden GPS 301 on your dash... Is that where you take the data from to feed the APRS?
