This is so cool. I've been following the KDE Marble project ever since it started a couple of years ago with an eye toward using it for APRS. That they're getting around to supporting dynamic data is great. It's a very nice app, sort of a local Google Earth. -- Ken, N7IPB EMAIL: [email protected] IM: (JID) [email protected] _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
