I seem to remember Xastir including a projection library... what does it use
it for if not reprojecting maps? Can anyone suggest a good geotiff
reprojection utility?
Here's a screenshot of my current location that illustrates the problem:
http://www.n1vg.net/projection.jpg
The map is built from two geotiff DOQQ tiles in Albers Equal-Area projection
(California state standard), with Dynamap/1000 vector data for the streets.
Notice how the vector graphics don't line up with the raster graphics, and
there's a vertical offset between the two tiles.

We use it from inside the geotiff library to convert from NAD27 to
NAD83. We also use it for converting to screen coordinates.

GDAL library? Grass?

Of course we're patient and ever hopeful today's the day for release of a
new version.
Intriguing signs include having read
The current version of MacAPRS=99 is 3.7.0
The current version of WinAPRS=99 is 2.7.0
Last updated April 24, 2003
by checking the (apparently not yet quite ready for prime-time)
"MacAPRS=99 & WinAPRS=99 Documentation" link
at the Sproul's new
http://www.winaprs.com/WAPRSdoc.htm
Thanks in advance to TSB for the new version. (I hope I didn't miss the
release announcement)

TIME STAMP on the AGE page:
From the replies I have seen so far, I think people still missunderstand
what I wanted on the AGE page. I simply wanted the "STATION LIST" line
to have a time stamp added to that line. SOmething saying "STATION LIST
as of XX:XX:XX" I am not asking for any more data or any more columns or
any more lines.
By knowing when the page was created (XX:XX:XX) then all of the values in
the AGE column have meaning relative to XX:XX:XX. WIthout the XX:XX:XX,
the AGE values have no meaning unless I look at the clock on the wall and
write it onto a post-it-note the instant I hit the ENTER key and stick it
on my screen. It just seems that in this day and age, with computers,
that a display that has "relative" values on it should have the value
(date time) that they are relative-to on the same page.

Sorry for the missunderstanding. Yes, you added the
"Click-here-to-get-UTC-times" button, which gives the data in absolute
format, but it was not what I was asking for and it does not help
resolve the ambiguity on the AGE page. We have exchanged numerous emails,
but apparently we were misscommunicating.

I think you are still thinking I am asking for more columns and more
lines. THis is not the case. I am only asking for a time stamp on the
TITLE BLOCK of the two sections:
STATION LIST as of XX:XX:XX
and later on down
RECENT ACTIVITY as of XX:XX:XX
Nothing more. I just dont see how this clutters the page. I think it is
good human engineering...
Sorry for bringing this to the group, but Steve makes a good point that
I seem to be the only one that thinks it is necessary.

I guess I would have done the watchdog timers differently, but then I
suppose no one expected the bird to lose a solar panel and have such a tight
power budget.
It'd be interesting to include a small SRAM chip in a less protected spot
and watch it to see how often you get flipped bits. The lead shielding
sounds like a good idea... seems like it'd take a huge dose to mess up an
EPROM, but I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry.
So what's it cost to launch a cubesat these days?

A bit off topic but does anyone know if the Kenwood TM-D700 will send GPS
data to the serial port while in APRS mode and if it will, how do you set it
up to do that? I would like to run APRS on the radio while feeding NMEA
data to another device.
Thanks
