Actually, there's several ways. Easiest: take the Xastir output and
drive a database with position and timestamp info, and then plot it on
Mapserver. Not always what you'd want but it's certainly effective.
Alternative B) is to download AE5PL's JavAPRSsrvr code... the stuff that
drives the APRS-IS... and use its database section to fill the database,
and plot the output directly. I may implement some of that soon, if I
can get some spare cycles.
Look at the info on WMS-based radar in Xastir. That's presented using
Mapserver.

And I have seen it in action many times over and not even realized it! My
company uses this for an application we run.
Here's my question, I am a complete newbie when it comes to mapping
software
etc. How could something like this be utilized for Xastir if even
applicable? I would love the idea of having my own local mapserver to
serve/render my own maps locally and I am just looking for a starting
point.
