You could use phased out Android phones with the OSM build of APRSdroid,
to feed the phone's GPS into the D7x0 and to display APRS stations on
the APRSdroid map:

1. https://aprsdroid.org/kenwood/
2. https://aprsdroid.org/osm/

There is no up-to-date OSM map of the whole of the US of A, but there
are regional maps you can get from
