Dear Georg:<br>
<br>
I do apologize...it has been awhile, and I am not sure at this point
what even gave me that idea. Is 0.9 in the Market now? I know the
version I have now (0.8) I had to dl/install outside of the market,
so it is not tracking for updates...would it be eaisier to just
remove 0.8 and re-install 0.9 from the market?<br>
<br>
I do like the app, and it seems to work well...just wish more igates
and such ported TCP packets back to local radio...I have several
friends in areas I travel that cannot see me when I am beaconing as
they use radio to monitor local APRS traffic and their local
I-gates/digis only port RF to the internet, not the other way.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Just speculating, but porting an app from iOS to Android and back
probably requires a complete rewrite, meaning that a port is not really
feasible.

I am not sure how you concluded that APRSdroid is dead. I just recently
released version 0.9 with a map display of nearby stations (working only
when using a TCP connection so far). Depending on the amount of leasure
time, version 1.0 will be published to Android Market sometime in the
next months. Of course, integating all the interesting features is hard
in a one-man off time project...
Messaging is already high on my priority list, but I am not sure if it
will make it into 1.0 or 1.1. If you have other wishes, feel free to
open a ticket in the <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://aprsdroid.org/">http://aprsdroid.org/</a> issues tracker (requires a
github account) or contact me off-list. I am always interested in how
APRSdroid is used and what is most demanded by the people out there.
