local stations! Two sites to chose from.

Report your position to other Ham stations. All you need is a GPS, TNC (modem) and a VHF. If you do a little research you will find it is quite easy to get on the air. You can put a aprs system in your vehicle, back pack, airplane, atv or what ever you dream up. There are lots of applications, coordinating search efforts, check and see where your wife has been shopping or the most practical, catch a unsuspecting car thief ! |

Just remember, you can use a variety of other TNC's, some larger and not suitable for mobile use. You can use just about any GPS that has Data out put. |
WinAPRS
/ UI-view You will need a program such as this if you want to have your own station
at home. Not only will you be able to track others, but your station
will act as a APRS digipeater/relay station to help with additional
coverage. You could also check up on someone's
position by means of the internet on such sites as FINDU.COM Garmin GPS This is an excellent GPS for the price. It will plug directly into the Tiny Track TNC. Tiny Trak Best price TNC tracker. I use this and it works great! you also might want to consider the pocket tracker.
