OpenAPRS-xL

OpenAPRS xL Edition brings the world of APRS right to your iPad. Paired with iPad’s built in map engine, Internet connection and GPS, OpenAPRS gives you access to check your APRS messages, beacon your position and view other Amateur Radio operators anywhere in the world.

Send your position with any model iPad by assisted GPS, cell phone triangulation or manual coordinate entry. Share your trip with your friends as they view you on their iPhone/iPads, APRS software connected to APRS-IS or on the OpenAPRS website:

Posted positions can also be viewed at other APRS websites such as aprs.fi, findu.com and APRSWorld.

Check your APRS messages or send a message to a friend right from OpenAPRS iPad Edition. Our servers are always on to receive and store your messages so you don’t have to keep a station running 24/7. Never miss a message again!
