their callsign and b) beaconing their own position every now and

Greetings, all.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking at adding some more path analysis features to my
APRS program, and was wondering what the consensus was regarding
plotting path from original sender to first digipeater/Igate
versus path from last digi/Igate to receiver. Which has more
value to the user? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I ask this because my original implementation supported last
digi, but this never seemed to be useful. And now I'm adding
functionality to identify and guesstimate-locate stealth first
digis. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there any need to keep last digi identification,
filtering, etc.?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just wondering how people woukd feel about that.</div>
