I can run #aprsdroid on my old android head unit for the car. Along with the #Lanchonlh #HGUV98
I might be able to #APRS #messages but responding while driving would be bad.

APRS map from my #BicycleMobile operations this morning on the Lakelands Trail State Park starting at Stockbridge, MI. This is using #APRSDroid to send spots.

Can't seem to hit any digipeaters from the campground at Raccoon Creek State Park in #Pennsylvania from my TH-D72 at 5W. The only digi I can really pick up from here is N8GD-2, 18 miles to the west. Will need to bring the mobile rig next time I guess. Or at least a better antenna to hook the HT to.

Haven't had any luck displaying stations from the radio in #APRSDroid. It appears to just hang when it receives a waypoint. Would be nice to be able to get a tactical display without needing a laptop.

Well, you can sideload the apk for aprsdroid from their website.
Aprsdroid is imho a fantasic aprs app, based on open street map.

You can buy it in play if you want an easy way of compensating the developers. If you dowload the apk you will have the free choice to send a few bucks to the developers.

Looking at doing #APRS #BicycleMobile, through some kind of interface to one of the radios I already own. I have #APRSDroid for my Android phone.

Two options:

A friend from the ARROW club has a rather well used #Mobilinkd Bluetooth #TNC. (It needs a few parts and maybe a repair, but I think I can make it work.)

I see on Amazon and AliExpress an APRS-K1 cable, which would handle getting audio levels right to plug into the audio jack on an Android phone and the K plug for my HT.

@gm4slv Oh yes the #TweedRide was good fun! Nice to see people dressed up.

Part of the route was on a bicycle trail by the river here, scenic and flat and no cars. The "Border to Border Trail" is the name, the plan underway is for it to go from one end of the county to the other.

Along the river is apparently an APRS dead zone here, I have been doing #APRS on my cell phone with #APRSDroid but want to try it via RF as well to see what the actual coverage is.

W8EMV-9:

Operated APRS-IS through APRSDroid on my bike ride home from downtown #AnnArbor. See the track from W8EMV-9 on aprs.fi

The route I took (to avoid Michigan home game football traffic, #goblue ) took 19 minutes, and I got home just before sunset at 510p.

I heard the tail end of a QSO on #Fedihams via my Pi-Star hotspot from about a block away, but it ended before I got a chance to check in.

A nice bicycle outing to downtown Ann Arbor, before it got dark. Sunset is at 515p today so I really need to not delay when it's time to come home.

Tracking on APRS using APRSDroid on my Android phone, see the track for W8EMV-9 which looks quite accurate to the path I actually took.

Would I like to do this all via RF on 2 meters, of course! Not finding any super obvious low cost option though.

@SteveTrewick There's not a lot of coverage in our area unfortunately. I have used it when heading out to do #POTA, but I was using #APRSDroid through the cell signal so my family would know where I was.

#APRSDroid seems to be sending messages over BlueTooth and RF though I never see it actually transmit. However WiFi is off, so it has no other way to contact the internet. I can’t seem to get position reporting to work.

Thinking how to configure my radio #Baofeng to use it with #APRS and #APRSdroid .

Testing #APRS.

Please, if is possible, send me a greeting message to XE2XEH-5

I'm running #APRSdroid.
