Xastir can now be run in it's own window on the Windows desktop. Updated
instructions are in the README.win32 file. You can find a link to the
latest README.win32 file at:
http://www.xastir.org.
This makes the free Xastir APRS client even more useful, as you don't have
to keep a big X window open just to see what Xastir is doing. You can also
shrink Xastir down to a button on your taskbar and bring it up when you
want to play with it.

Its best to use the NMEA and APRS standard format of Degrees and decimal
minutes to talk about positions so that everyone doesnt have to do a
conversion. These would be:
3949.53N 08415.22N

The original request was for GPS coordinates so that is what I sent.
I just grabbed it from the Mapsource file I downloaded from the GPS III+
after the trip.

I'd like to join you on the ride, the only thing I lack is vacation time.
I have a dumb tracker installed on my '99 Valkrie and am surpized at how
well it works. Have fun on the ride!!!
Send me some pictures of your installation on your bike. I'm curious as
to how others are doing it. Maybe if there's enough interrest, we need a
web page just for bikes and aprs???
