There's a hook between xastir and Garmin units using gpsman that will turn a track on the garmin into a shapefile, which xastir then handles in a special way (or you can move it to the maps directory and handle it like a standard shapefile map).
Yea, gpsman and gpsmanshp combined do the work. If you could figure out how to download the tracks you were interested in using gpsman, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to automate that process in Xastir. That would give you a track on your local Xastir display. If all you have are tracks and not a current waypoint for the Astro rovers, it would be more difficult for Xastir to transmit out the current position of the rovers on APRS. If you have moving waypoints that can be downloaded for the rover positions, then we might have something to work with. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
