I will add a couple of other basic things to Fred's checklist: Be sure the APRSIS32.exe file and the map tiles are not in Windows protected folders PROGRAMS and PROGRAMS(x86). Either of those will pre

After years of using several Open Trackers (OT) and Tiny Traks (TT), I suspect the com port assignment in APRSIS32 doesn’t match the com port windows has assigned to the OT. APRSIS32 is trying to open

Upgraded 3 computers and ran them for 2 or 3 hours with no problems. One of them (KE6BB) will be on all night with wind advisory objects for the interstate 5 corridor north of Los Angeles, until 9am.

Greg, Yes, I understand the bottom line, but CPU and RAM are really inexpensive these days. The way I am set up, I can use any computer in the house for APRS and/or for RF. Any combination I want with

Yes! I have been doing that for some time. Good to know that MBTiles can also be shared. I am looking forward to using them. BTW, this dual instance all started because I wanted easy APRS only viewing

Greg, I have done that in the past, and actually found that configuration on an old Windows 8 (upgraded to Win 10) tablet (Acer W8?) that I have used for years. I usually run that as an RF only instan

Re: “Note that you should NOT connect an IGate to firenet. “ My mind just isn’t what it used to be. You just reminded me WHY I started running separate instances, one for Amateur Radio APRS, on standa

Bingo! That describes it perfectly. Thanks, Lynn. Mark, KE6BB

THIS IS NOT A FOOTPRINT PROBLEM! Sadly, Toolbar>Screen>Labels>Footprint doesn't fix this problem. It appears that the KJ6DZB-3 is sending telemetry in his position beacon, and APRSIS32 seems to displa

About 5 years ago I was driving through Flagstaff, Az. when the weather ahead began to concern me. I glanced at my tablet PC (running APRSIS32 on RF only) and was pleased to see an NWS thunderstorm bo

Here is an interesting screen shot showing "Flight" symbols during the eclipse. Most are balloons, but a few aircraft mixed in as well. Mark KE6BB

RE: "It seemed to be transmitting last night just after install, however this morning not even that?" That is an important hint. It sounds like APRSIS32 couldn't save the .XML file as it was shutting

Re: "...I have all four files for each zip file I have downloaded." I've been following this thread on my phone, but I can't help but ask: Have you actually unzipped the .ZIP shape files and put the u
