Tracker not showing


"Chris McCarthy" <[email protected]
 

I've been having some problems, trouble is there has been no one else around
to test it with!
A local has just appeared using APRS..I cant get an ack back from him when
sending a message, but that may be due to incompatibilities between the two
systems?

The problem is, my tracker isn't appearing on the map. I can see the packets
appearing in the monitor screen at the bottom of the display.
Looking in the terminal window the format from my tracker is:
10:11:32R G3XVL-9>CQ,RELAY,WIDE <UI Len=68>:
$GPGGA,091644,5202.9506,N,00108.9689,E,1,08,1.3,83.2,M,47.0,M,,*74
I'm also sending $GPRMC for height but I wouldn't of thought this would
matter even though UI View doesn't use it.

Tracker displays fine when I use WINAPRS.

I tried turning the logging on but although G3XVL and M1ADT are showing in
the log, there is no sign of G3XVL-9

Home station is a G0BSX TNC, running KISS mode, any ideas/ help appreciated
Cheers Chris

UI-View messages aren't compatible with APRS messages. There's a fairly
fundamental difference - the destination address for APRS messages is in
the message text, but UI-View uses the unproto address as the
destination. Also, the structure of the message is rather different.

The problem is, my tracker isn't appearing on the map. I can see the packets
appearing in the monitor screen at the bottom of the display.

I've just checked that and it looks like I've got a problem with
unexpected differences in the format of the $GPGGA sentence. :-(

Here's yours:-
$GPGGA,091644,5202.9506,N,00108.9689,E,1,08,1.3,83.2,M,47.0,M,,*74

And here's what comes out of the GPS 45XL I've been using for testing:-
$GPGGA,123748,5258.308,N,00002.774,W,1,06,1.6,1.4,M,47.1,M,,*5A

Yours has an extra decimal place on the lat and long.

UI-View will actually decode yours ok, but the preliminary "is it GPS?"
filter rejects it, so it never gets as far as being decoded. I've fixed
it now.

Thats good, I'm using the Garmin GPS25 by the way.

Is the fixed version available?
