Substitute your own callsign, icon, and findU password, and you get  
the special iPhone radar which is zoomable, AND it sends the position  
to the APRS IS, reloads every 2 minutes. This is most of what my oft- 
rejected iPhone app does!

There is a limitation that became apparent when I took it for short  
drive. Despite setting the high accuracy bit on, the phone does not  
usually wait long enough to get a GPS fix, so most of the time all you  
get is cell tower fixes, 1-2 km errors. Think of it as driving with  
position ambiguity turned on!

I'll have to look at Google location and see if they have some magical  
way to get better GPS fixes.
