Actually you need to be in GPS A mode to be seen on J-findU or any aprs-is server network. GPS G mode, will allow any dstar gps user to track you (i.e.: my 2820 will show where your at in relation to my position) GPS A mode, this will send your GPS information through the gateway, by way of DSTARMonitor and the javaprasd demons we have installed on MOST gateways. Now, my take on this is, you run G or A mode through a DVAP connected directly to a reflector, your GPS data stream will still go out, but there is no middle man way to decode your A mode, versus your G mode. (other then D-Rats) So, test the train of thought here... talk through a local gateway when you have a chance to, look on dstarusers.org and see if your posit posted. Now, try the same through your DVAP, I think your going to find that the GPS stream has to be captured via a DPRS NODE, or via RF through and actual gateway.... I think your going to find this to be true as stated, since there is no porting from the DVAP or dplus, to the DSTARMonitor, they are two separate tools in the dstar tool box. NOT SAYING IT WANT HAPPEN, but as of this email, I do not have dplus ported to DSTARMonitor, therefore, your objective is not going to take place at this time. Robin makes a tweak to Dplus to somehow port the GPS$ to the DSTARMonitor daemon, then your objective will take place, again, using the GPS-A mode. Per the ICOM book, GPS G mode was never meant to be used as the DPRS beacon, hence, GPS-A mode, for APRS. Hope this helps you out a little more.... Good Luck
