When you enter the building, APRSdos keeps track of
where you entered it.  Unless there is a BOX-N digi
inside, then it can take over and force a vicinity
plot inside the building if for example there are BOX-N
digis inside the various areas in the building...  Bob

  Yes, but only if no other position data is available.If I have
previously received a posit, and he has nottimed out of the list, then
his last posit is retained.I assume a tracker with invalid GPS data will
nottansmit any more positions and after 80 minutes(default) he fades to
gray.   Bob
