Field notes
APRS Mobile connects to APRS-IS and renders heard stations as callsigns and APRS symbols on a live map. Its layer controls cover fixed, mobile, weather, digipeater, IGate, object, and item stations, while station pages expose position, Maidenhead grid, speed, altitude, digipath, packet statistics, and track history. The site states that monitoring is open to anyone, but sending requires an amateur-radio licence and the callsign’s APRS-IS passcode.
