[aprssig] iPhone web position

[Wes Johnston, AI4PX]

Working like a champ.... I'm in a "serious" concrete building - a paper mill
with no windows -and it has me located within 20 feet of my offce (as I
estimate from the overhead view).  The only problem I see is that the page
doesn't continue to refresh when the screen goes blank.  But this is an
iphone issue not findu issue.  Other than that...wow.  In the car I can run
on 12v charger.

This is perfect little app.... Hope aprs.fi incorporates it!

Now Steve, since you said you were listening to bluetooth audio can you
please make the iphone AVRCP work!!   can't change songs on my motorcycle
using the bluetooth remote. <grin>
