I'm not up for attempting to code this right now, but just thought I'd mention
it in case any one was interested. One of the many functions/features of Xastir
and APRS is the ability to send messages to other APRS users. But often the
station you'd like to send a message to is not there at the

Cool idea! This could be extended to include geo-fencing. A message gets sent
to any station, or a specific station, that reports from within a specified
area. You could define warning areas and danger zones for flooding or
other hazards.
Or send a message to someone else if a specific call
Lots of useful ideas but a lot of this could probably be made as an external
program which connects to Xastir's server ports instead. That keeps the Xastir
code unchanged and essentially keeps Xastir as a gateway rather than the
functional application. This also makes it easier to tweak and
I understand the sentiment but I think it needs to be part of Xastir because
you need to define those geo-fences on the map. This will not be a problem in
version 2.0, where the graphical interface is separate from other parts.
As to your question, yes you can receive all position reports,
Actually you could do something of a hybrid now with the current version. If I
recall, the current version will generate shape files for lines drawn on the
map (or something similar to a shape file). So you draw your geo-fence, export
the shape file, and then feed it into the external
Ok, it's a CAD file (just tried it) but it still works since it would list all
the vertices of the fence (I forgot how to close a polygon in Xastir but it was
enough). It's a nice, clean, parseable format. So you get the benefit of the
map combined with the benefit of an external application.
I downloaded and followed the directions to get the 2008 Tigermaps working
on my laptop tonight. For the most part the maps display correctly except
for displaying the street names. Am I missing a config setting? I did copy
and run the perl script to take care of the layers.
