I have a test program running that uses MapSource maps. The program is running here: http://viewpoint.no-ip.org:8080. The user interface is only via a Web Browser once it is set up. Currently support are PHG circles, Map Icons, and moving tracks. DFS circles are supported by not extensively tested and the colors probably are not correct. For U.S. locations, you can search by city name and state. Search by Grid Square and Lat/Long also is supported. Sample Lat/Long entry would be: W34 30 / N117 20. Or it could be entered -34.5 / 117.33333. The "/" is used to separate Lat from Long. Maps are described in terms of Range from the center to the minimum extent. Example, a 10 mile Range map will show all stations out to 10 miles radium in all directions at a minimum, which is usually the North/South distance. There may be more range in the East/West direction as the map shapes are rectangular. The program supports the sending of APRS messages, but to send a message, you must be issued a "passcode" for your callsign in order to restrict use to authorized users. The intent of the program is for use on a local network, but it can be connected to the Internet as it will be for the next few days, (or until is dies.) Map products can be changed by entering "//" for the callsign without quotes, and selecting the map desired. Of course, if multiple people are changing maps at the same time, that would create a conflict. Most APRS packet types are decoded, except Weather and Compressed Position packets. Object/Item data entry and data search functions are not currently functional and are not exposed on the web pages. Feed back would be appreciated. Brent KH2Z
