I’ve been into APRS for about 30 years now and have used numerous APRS software over the years.
Started with WinAPRS by Sproule brothers, DosAPRS by Bob Bruninga, APRS + by Brent Hildebrand currently
using this, have tried APRSpoint, recently PinPoint.
As more and more new radios hit the market/road sending out the compressed packets some of the older software
can’t decode it and display positions. You can see the stations in the “tnc window” but thats all, as in my case with
APRS +.
I’m looking for software that decode and display position reports and the ability for mobile stations to be tracked!
With Pinpoint you have to select the mobile station and select track. I’m not always at my station to do this.
I would like a mobile to show up and software able to track them, then I can select mobile station and see their whole track
as recorded by the software.
I realize alot of the “authors” for some of this older software have “retired” or moved on.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.

APRSIS/32 will do what you want. This is what I use. The learning curve is steep for some people. And, the author died unexpectedly a few months ago, so the future is not clear.

I've heard good things about YAAC, but I've never used it.

Thanks for the response! I tried out aprsisce/32 lots of menus. I‘ll fiddle/fumble with it some more.
Just checked out YAAC, looks interesting also. Will download and see if I can stumble thru it.
See which one will work for me.
