<I realized that more-than-one just gives more potential for errors and
confusion, so I only implemented just ONE file and nailed it in code to the
N40- W40 lat/long.
I'd recommend we stick with that so that we dont have clusters all over the
place.... Bob>
In case you didn't realize it, what I suggested ahould NOT give you
"clusters all over the place". I just told two programs (one mapping, one
charting/nav) to "go to 99N 180W" and they both barfed and told me the
numbers couldn't be used.
And that's precisely my point, that there is a valid range of "imaginary
numbers" that exceed conventional lat/lon positions. A GPS or other
navigation instrument would never supply imput in excess of 180d longitude
or 90d latitude. But there are more digits available, i.e. up to 999d lon
and 99d lat can be passed through the APRS system with the same numbers of
digits. When they hit a computer, it can easily parse them out and say
"Ahah, imaginary numbers. I should use the XYZ private location for this
display."
Similar to the private IP address ranges on the internet, there would never
be "clusters all over the place" since no mapping software should be mapping
ANY of these addresses--unless you tell it where and how, and which one(s)
to ignore or use. That would allow multiple users, in the same radio area,
without any interference or confusion. You could display "this operation" in
one range, "that operation" in another, etc, and have the option to turn
each group on/off by simply using the bogus lat/lon numbers like private IP
ranges, telling your computer "OK, just show me this/these now". Meanwhile,
the offsets that everyone uses are in common.

Looking for both negative and positive feedback concerning the eTrax series
and the Kenwood TH-D7A (G).
If you have any examples good or bad, please list them.
I'm about to purchase the above items and want to make sure the two work
together without problems. The price of the GPS is what is driving this
purchase. Need to keep the GPS around the $210.00 range.
I'm only concerned with the eTrax GPS units.
Thanks in advance,
73 Bill, W1GTT

My TH-D7A(G) woks fine with the eTrex Venture. I use the original GPS cable
with a null modem but a exclusive cable is less voluminous, if you buy the
eTrex plug. The GPS plots the stations and objects received on the very
poor screen map.

I have seen the email before, but lost it.
How you set up the D700 to "announce" new stations, etc when the VS-3 is
installed?
Thanks,
Kent
