Screen Shots
You should have come to this page from the page describing APRS -- Amateur Position Reporting System. If you have not read that article, here is a link to it.
The photos below are shots made with a digital camera of the screen on a notebook computer that runs APRS 24/7 from Bristol, TN. The three shots are taken at different zoom levels -- zoomed close in showing neighboring states; zoomed medium showing the east coast; and a far out zoom showing most of the US. The photos are a bit dark -- I am still learning how to use the digital camera.
Close-in zoom. This photo shows APRS stations in VA-KY-TN-WV-NC. The blue lines on the map are state lines. The map is centered on the corner where NE TN-SW VA-NW NC join. You can see the state line between VA and KY and VA and WV angling up to the right starting just above the KC4YDQ-7 symbol. The TN state line runs straight left to right across the middle of the screen.
This one zooms out to show most of the East Coast and the SE -- note that many states show up clearly in outline.
This shot zooms farther out, showing well into the west. Note the bottom symbol -- an Apple computer symbol with the call sign K4HG-5 -- he is on the tip of Florida. The truck symbol just above K4HG-5 is KC4PZL-14, an eighteen-wheeler who shows up from time to time.
