<div>Went to Myrtle Beach this past weekend. Once we were there, I heard a mobile on voice alert and finally got a decode out of him. It was W1GRE from down near Charleston. Was able to eyeball at Dunkin Doughnuts (where else???). He dinged me with a beacon after he was parked and the GPS gave me the turn by turn to get there. He had come up to meet with some other hams so we all went to lunch together. While at the table, I showed them openaprs on my iphone and lo-and-behold the status of my car showed the voice frequency we'd been talking on... the TM-D710 rig was transmitting my frequency in the status. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know too often APRS is used for tracking when there are other uses, but this was really slick... much more than watching blips on the screen moving. We were able to figure out we both were in the area, establish a talk in frequency, facilitate a meeting at a random place AND the GPS with text to speech told me how to get there. This is truely a case where all the pieces came together.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Enjoyed seeing Lloyd K4OL, Jimmy WW6JC, Greg W1GRE and three other gentlemen who's calls I've forgotten.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And one more thing.... echolink on the iphone is SLICK.</div>
