As a followup, I wrote a quick and dirty little perl script to basically connect to our server, request and subsequently output NMEA waypoint data. Should be easy to pipe that data to just about anything you want...<br><br>

$GPWPL,04210.46,N,08817.14,W,WB9SFG*11<br>
$GPWPL,04521.86,N,00941.08,E,IK2CHZ*12<br>...<br><br>Only thing an application must do is repond to the ping requests sent by the client that is connected to it. The response is simply .PN whever it recieves a reply number 106. Obviously you'd have to code a little bit of a client to connect up, login and handle a minimum of requests from the server but it would be far easier than parsing a full APRS stream. The NMEA waypoints also support objects as well.<br>

generates $GPWPL sentences from APRS-IS data? I'm looking to do some<br>
testing in an environment in which RF APRS traffic is not an option. I<br>
have dome some searching online but did not find anything conclusive.<br>
