A great way to keep everyone informed of such adventures and events is to use an APRS or DSTAR radio, or any of the low-cost under $40 APRS interfaces to an existing radio... so others can see where you are... on your own APRS web page: http://map.findu.com/URCALL*

Bob - I didn't realize that the price point had dropped so low...Where can we find specific info about these "sub-$40 interfaces" and associated cabling?

The Tinytrak3 from byonics.com or the opentrak from Scott, or others. I suppose I should have a better list ready to drop in, but I am at the beach...

But then remember, I also consider APRS as NOT a vehicle tracking system (just TX devices) but more as a local information distribution system about all that is going on in ham radio in the local area. In that sense, I prefer two-way systems with displays for the mobile operator.
