Automatic Packet Reporting System

APRS is a protocol that uses unconnected AX.25 (packet) frames to 
transmit short bursts of data. That data could be your position, the 
weather at your location, a brief message, or other telemetry.

APRS was developed primarily by Bob Bruninga WB4APR, a professor at 
the U.S. Naval Academy. You can check out his web site at:

A common use for APRS is to automatically report a mobile station's 
position. If you go to:

you can see where I've been lately. Note that that data is a little 
out of date because I haven't turned my tracker on since Monday.
