After reading this post I am struggling to comprehend the reasoning behind this, it seems crazy that this functionality hasn’t been included and even crazier the resistance to the idea. I don’t want to rock the boat but here is the reason why I want this information.
As a newbie I find this quite fascinating and I am always up for contributing. So I looked into purchasing and building a receiver kit and the trouble associated with setting up. I then investigated if anyone else in the area where I live is feeding data. Well I can’t tell can I !!!! Because if someone here where I live is already feeding data why would I bother to spend not only my money, but the time to set it up?
I don’t want to know the street address in this town of 60,000 people where the feeder is, I just want to know that somewhere in this vicinity there is an active, intermittent or defunct feed.
Going on the data received I suspect the closest feed is actually “Bloods” and he is located 110km away from here. I suspect this is why planes coming into land here at YSWG can’t be seen.
So why wouldn’t you want to plot the location of the feeds? I don’t mean plotting the exact coordinates, just the township? And if the feed is in a capital city just plot the suburb of the feeder?
