Is the only symbol that I can draw on the map one of those
icons?  I was planning on attempting a graphics image of an
aircraft.  (The icon doesn't have heading on it.  I wanted a
little graphics image of an airplane pointed in the right
direction).  I've already hacked the main processing loop to
feed in FlightGear's NMEA sentences, and it works pretty well.
I'll look into the 'fake tnc' thing, though.
