Andrew, I am working on a small Java application that you can run on your 
computer that will connect to findu to get the information on the locations and 
history of stations you designate (later, we can do a lot more using javaprsrv 
and filters).  You just fire it up, and the start google earth and open a 
network link to http://localhost:<port>.  Plain and simple.

This will let more people play with the implementation details and features to 
get something that works well, without burdening Steve.  The nice thing about 
the local server is that it can use a local TNC to provide local data without 
network load.

Anyone interested on working on this with me, let me know.
