What would you want to scrape? I'd make the data available as a network
option from within Xastir... and I might also consider standing up an
APRS KML data server. Keep up the ideas. We might kindle something
here after all!

My first thoughts on implementation for this would be some kind of
scraping method maybe? I certainly wouldn't want to abuse Google's
servers, but what about passing static strings with the positional as a
standard http request and then somehow getting that data to display
inside Xastir?
There are KML generators that exist today, I've seen a few but can't
recall what or how they work....
Again guys I'm not a developer, more of a tinkerer, so what I'm thinking
of may or may not be possible.....
Just some random thoughts......

What we're looking at is dynamically creating the KMLs that look to the
APRS-IS, connect for receive-only and snag the data directly, I think.
There may also be a path to have Xastir spawn a client process to fire
off GoogleEarth and act as the server for the KML seeks. I've not
thought through this, so someone else should take the lead and go for
it. I'll be glad to take issues/concerns/questions back to the Google
developers as I see the team every 2-3 months at Open Geospatial
Consortium meetings.
