API to access Simon's world map

#1

Unread post by on4pb »

Hi Simon,

The idea is to use your world map as a visual frontend for HAM radio applications (real time spotting, contest trackers, logbook summaries, antenna rotators, ..).

The API would enable highlighting

- grid locators or fields
- ITU zones
- CQ zones
- markers and angles which can be created through the API for further display

And if possible, assign a lifetime and a label to that information.

I think such capabilities would uplift this very nice app and make it very attractive for integration as a frontend !

What do you think ?

I agree. Originally it was going to be a DLL which could be added to other programs but that idea didn't happen.

I'll keep this idea in mind.

Eh, is it a sermon? Is it a brassiere? Or even an implant?
