Hey All,
So I have been nerding out the past few days on developing this webpage/reporting tool. I use to simply embed APRS.fi maps on a page with my call sign to make tracking easy for friends and family. The big issue with this is it only shows data from the past 2 days making longer trips and pulling up trip history not possible! After doing a lot of research I decided to tackle my own system where I can have my server monitor the APRS-IS stream (with proper checks to make sure the script is always running) and soon as data from my callsign comes across save that data to my database.
It was a ton of work, but seems to all be working and now I can url link any date range for sharing trips and save my data points for as long as I want!
v1.0 of the site is done and is currently setup to track some random trucker so I had data being reported while developing this. It will eventually switch over to tracking just me on my next trip, November 22nd.
