What is APRS Track Direct?

It's a set of tools useful for anyone wanting to create an APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) tracking website. These tools can utilize data from various sources like APRS-IS, CWOP-IS, OGN, or others that adhere to the APRS specification.

About APRS:

APRS is a digital communication system that uses packet radio to transmit real-time tactical information, often on amateur radio frequencies. This information can include coordinates, altitude, speed, heading, text messages, alerts, announcements, bulletins, and weather data. It was developed by Bob Bruninga, with the callsign WB4APR.

Changelog / Release Notes:

The website lists several updates and enhancements made to APRS Track Direct since it was shared on GitHub. These include porting to Python 3, upgrading to the latest mapbox js/css files, new heatmap functionality, reduced memory usage, and more.

Usage and Development:

APRS Track Direct is intended for experienced developers with knowledge in Linux, Postgresql, Python, and Javascript, as well as an understanding of APRS and aprsc. Instructions for setting up and using the tools are available on GitHub.

Who is Using It?

The website mentions that several websites use APRS Track Direct tools in some capacity. However, the developers of APRS Track Direct are not responsible for these websites and can only answer questions about their own demo sites like gliderradar.com and cwopviewer.com.
