Yes, a lot like that from a map perspective.

From an API perspective, I'm not quite sure what the right approach is. The simplest might be "log if your favorite iGate has a long hop on APRS".

I did look at https://aprs.fi specifically the iGate that Nick #W8XM runs

https://aprs.fi/info/a/W8XM-11

and found an APRS tx/rx pair to #K8YSE

Ann Arbor, MI to N Royalton OH is 118 miles, not bad, logged at 7:52 Eastern 2023-05-21 (sunrise 6:11).

Nick #W8XM did a short writeup on the intersection between #APRS and #AREDN on the ARROW #W8RP AREDN network in Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti MI (Washtenaw County, EN82).

The direct link is https://arrow.groups.io/g/mesh/message/770 (you may have to be a subscriber).

tldr: Pi + software modem doing an APRS I-Gate at a location *without* Internet access of its own, connected over one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz hop to W8XM's home network gateway (special segmented network exclusively used for aredn internet)
