Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Oğuz, callsign TA4OHN, and I'm the creator of APRS World.
I started building APRS World because I wanted a modern way to explore and interact with the APRS network. Existing tools are great for what they do, but I felt there was room for a more complete experience across web, mobile, and in car systems.
For those unfamiliar with APRS, it's a network used by amateur radio operators to share positions, weather data, telemetry, and short messages over radio. Internet-connected gateways make stations from around the world visible in real time.
What can you do with APRS World?
🗺️ Live APRS map: Explore stations worldwide and see who's on the air.
📍 Station tracking: Look up callsigns, view station history, tracks, and telemetry.
💬 Messaging: Send and receive APRS messages.
📱 Mobile apps: Access APRS on Android and iOS.
🚗 Apple CarPlay & Android Auto: Bring APRS station discovery and mapping into your car, with an interface designed for in-car use.
📻 Bluetooth KISS TNC on Android: Connect compatible radio hardware to send beacons and messages over RF directly from your phone.
The live map, station lookup, and messaging are free. An optional premium plan adds unlimited messaging and extra mobile features.
I'm building APRS World as a fellow ham, with the goal of making APRS more accessible and enjoyable without losing the spirit of amateur radio.
I'd love to hear your thoughts:
If you use APRS, what features are missing from your current tools?
What would make you choose APRS World over your existing setup?
And what would you like to see added next?
Thanks for checking it out and helping shape the project!
