                We have no immediate plans to extend TNP in such a

                That said, if someone were to produce such a product and
                have it spout out NMEA strings in the format we have
                documented, then TNP could be used as a display engine.
                To pull this off, someone (independent of all of the
                major mapping apps, etc.) might be able to secure the
                permissions and protocols needed.<br>
                <br>
                If someone is willing to take on such a project, I will
                be happy to supply a copy of TNP once they are reaching
                the stage of needing a rendering engine. Until then, we

                  there is no way to merge <br>
                  all this data on a single tactical display. What
                  results is a very <br>
                  fragmented system that loses tremendous potential for
                  coordinating <br>
                  operations. We desperately need a very high quality

                  communications hub program with up to date urban maps,
                  USGS topo and Marine <br>
                  charts where transceivers on each of the frequencies
                  can be connected to a <br>
                  single computer with a single tactical display. The
                  incident command center <br>
                  can have a properly licensed operator at the computer
                  and hardware that is <br>
                  FCC approved for transmitting on that frequency which
                  can be activated. <br>

                  operators at all times on the map and have multiple
                  ways to communicate with <br>

                  bearing to a target, <br>
                  sending a person on foot to a specific location,

                  satellite text message or placing a satellite phone
                  call to that person. <br>
                  There is a market for a company which will take the
                  lead and develop <br>
                  something that can understand and speak with the

                  scalable and usable <br>
                  for cub scouts all the way up to multi-agency search.
                  Position data can be <br>
                  translated by this hub and sent as waypoints to all of
                  the different radio <br>
