<div>Ahhh so the trick is to make the RFID badge have the same callsign as the car you driving!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Perfect... changes my icon from a car to a jogger when I hit the door. And when I leave the building, sure I'm "tagged" at the door, but I will soon get into my car and my icon will change....</div>
<div> DONE! wow.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, I saw someone mention decay... we don't need that.... the reader (RFID gate) is a stateless machine.... when it sees a card, it beacons the card or callsign. besides - the last thing we'd want is a depreciated position transmitted for me in a building when I'm 20 minutes down the road in my car.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Another idea....</div>
<div>In a multi story building... pick a place away from the building you are in and call that place "2nd floor". All people on 2nd floor would be randomly plotted around the fake spot. Who says we have to only track people at the exits? We can track them at the stairwells too.</div>

I agree and adding the complexity is not worth it.<br>I'm just happy with a detection at the EOC and a date/time<br>stamp.<br><br>That's all that APRS is anyway. When the car stops, we have no<br>heading or speed info. We just know that that car was last<br>
