Hi,
http://he.fi/misc/hamvention.html
I'd like to hightlight the possibility to embed live aprs.fi maps on a
web page by just inserting a few rows of javascript in the HTML code. The
link above shows a live APRS map view of Dayton, with updates in
near-real-time when new data is received on the APRS-IS. No need to reload
the page. No refresh tags needed. You can do this on your own pages,
for your own city, balloon project or special event - instructions are at:
http://aprs.fi/page/embed
Or just see the HTML source code of the hamvention.html page. There's also
an older blog post about the subject:
http://oh7lzb.blogspot.com/2007/09/live-aprs-maps-on-your-own-web-page.html
Here's the HTML required to show the map:
<p>
<script type="text/javascript">
// latitude and longitude of the Hamvention site
he_lat = 39.821738;
he_lng = -84.25503;
he_zoom = 10; // zoom out a bit
he_width = 700; // size of the map, in pixels
he_height = 450;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://aprs.fi/js/embed.js">
</script>
</p>
Too bad I can't make it to Dayton, would be nice to see other APRS folks
face-to-face.
