APRS app for amateur radio enthusiasts
This app is for use by licensed radio amateurs to send APRS position beacons and messages from an Android phone or tablet over a 3G or Wi-Fi connection to the worldwide APRS internet system. It can also be use to link by Bluetooth to the Cross Country Wireless APRS TNC Digi Tracker with the Bluetooth option.
The app is very simple to set up just needing an amateur radio callsign and the APRS passcode for that callsign (available on request from Cross Country Wireless or via the link on our web page).
Menu options include GPS position information including WGS84 locations for worldwide use and.OSGB locations for UK users. Another menu option also opens an OpenStreetMap based on the GPS fix.
The app can be used on most Android phone or tablet with GPS (and Bluetooth for use with a DigiTracker). If your Android tablet does not have GPS then the app will not work.
Note...the GPS on some Samsung phones doesn't work with this app. As a result the app is now provided free of charge for amateur radio experimentation.
