Yes, if the station isn't including altitude information in their
beacon packets, the numbers won't show up.?? This feature is
really nice for watching High-Altitude-Balloon APRS tracks as well
as when us flat-landers go driving in the mountains (like the
climb on US 70 just before it intersects 27, nose-bleed 200'
altitude gain!)
Glad you find APRSIS32 helpful.?? And yes, the Tour-de-Cure ride
last Sunday in Orlando was nice.?? Paul (KJ4DXK, BIKE2) and I
(BIKE1) enjoyed our 19.8 mile trek clearing the bike path in the
pre-dawn light.?? Our best accomplishment this year was calling
for a SAG with a shovel to clear the 2 dead critters that were in
the center of the bike lane BEFORE the actual riders got to that
location!
And I did see you drive by with your load of bikes and riders at
one point.?? I was cooling my heels at Rest Stop 6 when you SAGged
them back to start/finish from way down south.

That's undoubtedly the answer.? Those are perfect examples of what
I am seeing.? I do have that checked in the Labels menu.? And
presumably, the numbers would not be there if the station wasn't
providing altitude information.
Thanks, Lynn.? Sorry I missed you last weekend at the Tour de Cure
Ride.? I was way down south on the routes.? I hope it went well
for you.
I continue to be astonished at how perfect your APRS software is
for those events.? Several of us SAG and Rover vehicles have
started using a Windows device running it (well, I have all
along), and it gives us almost total awareness of what's going on,
in addition to keeping us on course with the .gpx file overlays
and the rest stop objects.? And when the Command Post puts a
rider-needing-assistance object out there, who could ask for
anything more?
Gil, WB2UTI?
