a very useful application
It's very good for its intended purpose, however I cheated, made a few local patches and use it to do GPS tracking when I'm in the car! Once modified to do tracking from the gpsd-attached receiver, and with some timeouts lowered more than would be reasonable for APRS tracking, it does a fine job of it too.
