[aprssig] Displaying changing symbols along station path

[Heikki Hannikainen]

Right, only one symbol is usually stored and displayed on the receiving 
end for a single station.  Publishing objects or items is the way to mark 
spots like this.

I should add object/item broadcasting in the aprs.fi iphone app, it's 
certainly lacking that feature. It will show objects and items fine 
though.
