Using a HAM radio coupled to a GPS receiver, Bob's (N2IGU-5) position is transmitted back to his HAM Radio Station at home. The home automation program, MisterHouse, receives these messages and caculates his position relative to home and defined waypoints. A text to speech program announces this information throughout the house and it is transmitted back over the air (Digital only). In addition a file, aprs.xml, is generated with the last positions and uploaded to www.RobertBellini.com where it is displayed here using Google Maps API.
