<br>
After several months of intensive development, I have just released<br>
APRSdroid 1.0 to the Android Market.<br>
<br>
APRSdroid is an open-source APRS-IS position reporting and displaying<br>
application for Android devices.<br>
<br>
The new version comes with several major improvements compared to the<br>
last 0.9 release:<br>
<br>
* The new Hub View gives a good overview of the local tactical<br>
situation, including large-print callsigns and frequencies for<br>
your neighbors.<br>
<br>
* The Station Info shows details about a selected station, including<br>
alternative SSIDs in use and the recent packet history. It also<br>
allows direct access to QRZ.com and <a href="http://aprs.fi" target="_blank">aprs.fi</a> (thanks to Hessu for the<br>
good work on the website :)<br>
You can also track a station on the map from its Info page.<br>
<br>
* The Map View now allows displaying/hiding of APRS objects and allows<br>
to switch to satellite maps.<br>
<br>
* Improved performance: database access does not block the user<br>
interface any more, allowing to cope even with large APRS-IS feeds.<br>
(This is still limited by your device CPU, so please do not overdo ;)<br>
<br>
* New APRS parser based on AVRS (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/avrs/" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/avrs/</a>)<br>
<br>
The next features to be implemented on my TODO list are:<br>
* Messaging support<br>
* Bluetooth TNC support<br>
* AFSK decoding using the microphone<br>
<br>
You can support further APRSdroid development by getting the Market<br>
version from <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=org.aprsdroid.app" target="_blank">https://market.android.com/details?id=org.aprsdroid.app</a><br>
<br>
You can also just download the binary from <a href="http://aprsdroid.org/download/" target="_blank">http://aprsdroid.org/download/</a><br>
<br>
Of course, you will need an APRS-IS passcode to be able to transmit your<br>
position reports.<br>
<br>
The APRSdroid home page is at <a href="http://aprsdroid.org/" target="_blank">http://aprsdroid.org/</a><br>
