Comes for free if you run APRSISCE/32 as your APRS client. It was
just a matter of selecting what path options I wanted to see.<br>

The default is Flash (10 seconds), but when you select All, you get
to see the paths of every packet you've received. Of course, it
looks even better with an RF feed because you're not limited to the
first packet to make it to the APRS-IS, but see every digipeat of
every packet.<br>
<br>
You can play with the Direct, First, Middle, and Final to see
real-time changes and how many packets have gone through
digi-to-digi hops (Middle) to get where they're going.<br>
