Well, I think Tom and I are the ones that are (eventually)
interested in such a thing.

I hacked on the code to create the CAD objects originally, but
haven't had time to flesh out my thoughts on what it could become,
or to work on the code much more.

The POD circle transmitted data isn't compatible with any other APRS
application.  There's no reason why we couldn't request our own
user-defined packet from Bob, then define all kinds of special stuff
just for us.
