APRS Mobile 1.1

APRS, the acronym for the Automatic Packet Reporting System, is an essential tool used by global Amateur Radio operators.

Reminder: Sustained use of GPS in the background can have a significant impact on battery life. Additionally, connecting to APRS-IS via cellular data may lead to overages; users are advised to monitor their data usage accordingly.
