Xastir is an open-source project to create a free X11 graphical

APRS(tm) client. APRS(tm) use amateur radio and Internet services to

convey GPS mapping, weather, and positional data in a graphical

application.  It has been developed by and for amateur radio

enthusiasts to provide real-time data in an easy to use package.


Xastir currently runs under several flavors of Linux and BSD Unix.

A few people are running Xastir on Solaris Unix, FreeBSD, Lindows

and Mac OS X, but there may be small changes necessary in order to

get Xastir to configure/compile on some systems.  There are a few

notes below which may help in this task.  Most of the developers use

Linux which makes it the best supported platform at the moment.

 
Xastir is an open-source project: Most sources, documentation, and

binaries are available under the GPL license, with a few modules

available under other open-source or public domain licenses.
