First, thanks for all your work on this!

What I'm asking for is to plot a blob on the map which indicates the margins at which signals have been received. This is very helpful for testing antenna configuration.

I've seen this in Virtual Radar Server ( http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/ )

Again, many thanks for what you've done here. was a "snap" to install and get running.

Hi @plarkinjr Thanks for your suggestion. Virtual Radar Server and range plots looks pretty cool. But I need time to think about how to integrate. It's using Mono runtime on linux platform, and it might not be suitable for embedded platforms (e.g., Raspberry Pi). I took a quick a look and it seems Virtual Radar Server could get data from a remote site. Perhaps you can run it on another machine. Another idea is to pack Virtual Radar Server as another snap and let users to install and run it separately.
