I'm looking for something that might be easier to operate than XASTIR. I need to teach someone how to run a D710 with computer interface and there is too much hacking in the terminal for it to be very feasible.
The software only needs to plot APRS packet GPS coordinates from a Kenwood D710 TNC on a map. I am thinking of getting a GPS Green Light Labs GPS-710 for the D710 and if the software could grab it that would be great too. Other features like smart beaconing, digipeating, and iGating would be really helpful but are not critical. I do have about 16 gb of maps in various formats that XASTIR seems to be OK using, I imagine other programs are pretty smart at figuring out what to do with maps.
Any operating system will do.
Thanks for any help.
