The tool mentioned by VE7MKF is a better iGate 'test' than Findu.   
However if you know you are iGating someone (or think you are) you  
can look them up in findu and see their raw data.  Just change the  
callsign to the one that you are interested in...  Looking at Findu's  
raw data is a good way to force yourself to learn how to read raw  
APRS packets ;)

I'm also thinking that Findu is tweaked or at least the data is stale  
right now.  I went out and blasted a packet from my truck to my iGate  
and Findu does not report it either via its raw or map page.  However  
if I look at the www.db0anf.de page for my iGate I can see that it  
saw my iGate gating my truck very recently.   Hmmm, anybody have any  
idea why Findu is stale (or why my brain is on vacation)? ;)
