<br>
I have looked at your code and the AVRS code but thanks for
pointing it out.<br>
<br>
I am thinking of a HUD more like the 2-3 line display for the
standalone HUDs. APRSDroid's display is not readable if my phone
is mounted on the dash. The text is to small. <br>
<br>
I had to reset my phone the other day and lost the install of
your app. Does it support message sending? As I recall it
doesn't. <br>
<br>
(My emails aren't making it onto the list from <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:k5rud@arrl.net">k5rud@arrl.net</a>
for some reason. Using a different account to see if it works.
Stan & I are discussing this.)<br>

I have looked at Bob's web page about messaging and HUD.

Maybe it is already going into a direction interesting for you. Is it
missing some important information (besides of the the station icons)?
APRSdroid is Open Source written in Scala. You can easily fork the
project on github <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid"><https://github.com/ge0rg/aprsdroid></a> and start playing
around if you don't want to begin from scratch.
If you have questions regarding the code, feel free to ask me off-list
or join #aprsdroid on the freenode IRC network.
A map display is already integrated and functional as well... ;-)
If you still want to start from scratch, you should at least use the
APRS parsing code from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/avrs/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/avrs/</a> created by
Matti, OH2MQK and John, AB0OO.
