<br>APRSdroid is an open-source APRS-IS application for Android devices.<br><br>The new version comes with several major improvements compared to the<br>last 1.0.3 release:<br><br> * APRS Messaging (you can send and receive messages, there is<br>
automatic retry support for TX and Android notifications for RX;<br> the tracking service has to be active all the time)<br><br> * preliminary Bluetooth TNC support (I hope that one or the other TNC<br> manufacturer will provide ready-made solutions soon, so the code can<br>
be tested in depth. Right now I consider it beta quality)<br><br> * New option to "Keep screen awake"<br><br> * Improved performance: the Hub and Map should perform much better now,<br> even with very many stored stations.<br>
<br>You can support APRSdroid development by getting the Market version from<br><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>As always, I am glad to get feedback either on this list or via e-mail.<br>
<br>You can also follow @APRSdroid on twitter for update notifications and<br>beta version releases.<br><br>The APRSdroid home page is at <a href="http://aprsdroid.org/m" target="_blank">http://aprsdroid.org/m</a><br><br>
Of course, you will need an APRS-IS passcode to be able to make full use<br>of the application.<br><br><br>73 from Germany<br><br>Georg, DO1GL<br><br>P.S: It seems, the U2APRS home page is down. Anyone knows what happened<br>
to the project?<br><br>P.P.S: With VUF-TRACKER <<a href="http://1011.se/aprs/" target="_blank">http://1011.se/aprs/</a>> there is a new<br>alternative to APRSdroid out there, with an interesting UI approach and<br>direct <a href="http://aprs.fi/" target="_blank">aprs.fi</a> integration.<br>
