Linking to APRS.FI

[Tanner Greer]

We are linking to APRS.FI for a bike race using the code from the following page: http://aprs.fi/page/embed

We were wondering if there was any way to change the station name to an alias instead of the callsign on the map?

That way we could label a station "End of Race" or something like that so that when the average person visited the website they would understand more easily.

Thanks for any help,

Tanner

There's no API to do that, but if you have the APRS tracker in hand at the
end of the race, you could send a packet with an additional comment text
which then shows up in the info balloon for that station.

Or, you can use APRS-IS software or another tracker to send it as well,
using the same callsign.
