People
I am looking at writing a 'lock to road' or 'lock to path' engine for some
APRS software I am writing. Before I invest a lot of time doing this, I am
wondering if anyone else has done this and made the source code available.
Ideally I would like it to be the lock to path, so that I can pre-record a
path, and lock the incoming GPS data onto that path.
Any pointers would be appreciated
Darryl

Greetings all -
Trying to use my PMAP3.0 for WinAPRS 2.5.1 on a new WinXP Pro machine.
When I run the pmapocx.bat batch file, I get the error
Regsvr32
!LoadLibrary("MAPOCX.OCX") failed - The specified module could not be
found.
I've been poking through the archives and google in an attempt to find
the answer to this, but no luck so far. What do I need to do?

On Fri, 4 Oct 2002, we conducted a nationwide paging test via PCSAT
to everyone in the USA via its 144.39 downlink. just to see how many
mobiles or other stations would get it.
Cleaning out my INBOX, I noticed today that I never summarized the result
of the test. Here it is for record purposes (and so I can finally throw
out those 59 messages I got back from everyone)...
NATIONWIDE APRS 144.39 DOWINLINK PCSAT PAGING TEST RESULT 4.5 Oct 2002:
Fifty nine stations all over the USA received the special Paging Text
conducted via PCsat on 4 and 5 October 2002. During this test, a message
was sent out from the command stations at the Naval Academy in Annapolis,
MD and a participating station in California asking for confirmation of
the message.
The intent of the test was to see the effectiveness of unannounced paging
to mobiles on the national terrestrial frequency via the PCsat Satellite.

Everyone,
I have an old Garmin GPS 40 and I can't find any software update info
for it. It is a very old unit and I would just like to try and get the
latest software in it and see if I can at least get it to run with a
KPC3. Any additional help would be GREAT,
Mike

Does the result meet your expectations?
Were there gaps in responses when you compared it with the footprint?

Garmin GENERALLY keeps the latest and greatest firmware images
on their web site for downloading. If it's not there, I don't know what
you could want.
Be aware though, that not all firmware revisions work with all hardware.
The site should tell you how to ID your unit, and then tell you what the
latest image is.

Earth Science Picture of the Day for July 6, 2003
http://epod.usra.edu/
This image was taken in November of 2002 from an altitude of 100,072 feet
(30,502 m) over south-central Iowa, looking towards the east-southeast. At
this altitude, well above the clouds, the curvature of the Earth can clearly
be seen, as well as the blackness of space and the thin blue veil of our
atmosphere. The Canon Elph LT camera that snapped this photo was part of a
balloon-borne amateur radio payload, which was tracked with GPS-based
equipment and recovered after the flight.

Subject: WinAPRS Tracker with Laptop Question
From: "Herb Gerhardt" <hgerhardt@charter.net>

When running a tracker with a laptop attached which is running WinAPRS, I
have noticed that the tracker works fine and draws a track on my computer,
however, every 30 minutes which is that stationary station setting, the
track goes back to the home location which is the lat/long on that stations
Settings Station screen.
What settings are not set correctly or is this the way the program works?
Not sure of the exact settings since it is not my tracker but a tracker and
laptop I set up for another ham a year ago.
Any help would be appreciated.
