APRS support #292

Open vranki opened 6 years ago

vranki commented 6 years ago

Just a small feature request for future: APRS support.

I think this could be implemented as one "simulator" data source quite easily. My main usage would be to use littlenavmap as OGN network real time map. I bet APRS has other uses too.

There already seems to be some APRS code available for Qt, which could be potentially reused: https://github.com/Hibby/Teset

Thanks for the information. I'd like to implement the plugins #150 first since this a perfect candidate for one. Have to see what can be done. Alex
