I just wanted to get it out there, since I’ve had a number of hits from “Google Maps Aprs” searches, that the http://gAPRS.net site is up and running. Within the next few days, I hope to add Zip-Code searches as well as display of stations near a searched location. Right now, the SSID I use for my car, K5EM-9, pops up in the box by default. My co-workers have affectionately named my APRS station the ‘Husband Tracker.’ Unfortunately, the APRS coverage here in Los Angeles is much worse than that in Dallas, so for now (assuming you cared where I was, which you don’t) you’d have to settle for the sketchy updates.

David Norris, KG9AE, of http://webaugur.com/, has his own Google Maps APRS here. David and I have collaborated on some of the code on our two sites, but the truth is that he’s done most of the difficult legwork. He describes some of the technical details of his work on his blog.
