time+position vs APRSpot

time+position reports the numbers for position, speed, and altitude, if available and as known to your device. If location is turned off or unavailable, the app reports the current time. Units may be set to nautical (default), metric, or statute (miles). All this is completely free, including no ads and no paid upgrades. I developed the app for myself, and am making it available in case there is broader interest. I do not collect any information from this app. This app also offers an option to mark a location and shows the distance from the mark, and the average speed and direction since the location was marked. time+position can display on a red screen to preserve night vision if the app is started at night. Before time+position can be used, users must agree to a disclaimer -- I am not perfect, and neither is this app.

APRSpot puts your station on the APRS map. Beacon your position to the worldwide APRS-IS network — you'll show up on aprs.fi and in every other APRS client — and watch the stations around you move in real time, right from your iPhone. FEATURES • Smart, periodic, or one-tap position beacons • Background beaconing — drive with the screen off and keep showing on the map • Live map of nearby stations with native APRS symbols • Station list sorted by distance, with speed, course and last-heard • APRS text messaging with delivery acknowledgements • Dynamic Island & Lock Screen Live Activity for your beaconing session • Activity log of raw APRS-IS traffic • Privacy controls: position ambiguity, optional course/speed and altitude • Block and report stations • Free — no ads, no account, no tracking TRY IT WITHOUT A LICENCE Tap "Try the demo" on the welcome screen to explore the whole app with simulated stations and messages — no callsign or network required. FOR LICENSED OPERATORS APRS is amateur radio. Transmitting your position requires a valid amateur-radio callsign (APRSpot does not fill in your APRS-IS passcode automatically, you will need to enter it manually in the Settings section). APRSpot uses background location to beacon your position to the APRS-IS amateur-radio network while you travel, even with the screen off. APRSpot is internet-only (APRS-IS) — no radio or TNC hardware required. 73!
