Description
APRSpot puts your station on the APRS map. Beacon your position to the worldwide APRS-IS network — you'll show up on aprs.fi and in every other APRS client — and watch the stations around you move in real time, right from your iPhone. FEATURES • Smart, periodic, or one-tap position beacons • Background beaconing — drive with the screen off and keep showing on the map • Live map of nearby stations with native APRS symbols • Station list sorted by distance, with speed, course and last-heard • APRS text messaging with delivery acknowledgements • Dynamic Island & Lock Screen Live Activity for your beaconing session • Activity log of raw APRS-IS traffic • Privacy controls: position ambiguity, optional course/speed and altitude • Block and report stations • Free — no ads, no account, no tracking TRY IT WITHOUT A LICENCE Tap "Try the demo" on the welcome screen to explore the whole app with simulated stations and messages — no callsign or network required. FOR LICENSED OPERATORS APRS is amateur radio. Transmitting your position requires a valid amateur-radio callsign (APRSpot does not fill in your APRS-IS passcode automatically, you will need to enter it manually in the Settings section). APRSpot uses background location to beacon your position to the APRS-IS amateur-radio network while you travel, even with the screen off. APRSpot is internet-only (APRS-IS) — no radio or TNC hardware required. 73!

They were being stripped to nothing before, which is a poor way to find out your message never left. You get the full 67 characters, and the composer warns you before the tail gets cut. On the watch you can finally pick your station symbol. Car on the phone, bicycle on the wrist, they don't have to match. New Features: • Pick your APRS-IS server from a list instead of typing a hostname. Regional rotates plus 30 country servers. Advanced mode is still there if you run your own igate or want a host that isn't listed. • Your grid square and country flag now sit in the map's top bar. • Tap the connection pill, the GPS bars or the station count to see what's behind them — server, last traffic, fix accuracy, extended locator. • Statistics back up to iCloud, so a new phone doesn't reset your totals. • SmartBeacon has an Aggressive setting for when you want a really tight track. It costs about double the data of High. That's the trade. Fixed Bugs • The launch screen, beacon button, Dynamic Island and widgets all use the real APRSpot logo now. There were four different icons floating around and none of them was the app icon. • The Dynamic Island keeps up with your speed while driving instead of sitting frozen between beacons. • On an automatic beacon mode without background beaconing, the app now says plainly that beaconing stops when you leave it. That one caught people out. • Beacons cached offline replay at a polite pace, and one too old for its timestamp to be trusted is dropped rather than sent with a bad date. Technical Analysis
