APRSdroid – APRSdroid is an Android application for pushing your current GPS coordinates (and maybe also messages, some day) to the APRS-IS network.
APRSdroid is Open Source Software written in Scala.
Feel free to join #aprsdroid on FreeNode!
Download the latest Older builds and release versions are available from the download repository
Once you have downloaded the software, check the settings page for hints on its configuration.
If you want to compile APRSdroid, visit the Developer page!
We have created an APRSdroid translation project at launchpad. You can now help translate APRSdroid into your mother tongue!
The default APRS icons are really ancient. A remake of the set in scalable SVG (which would look good even scaled down to 12×12 pixels) would be really awesome.
