APRS Vector is a professional APRS client for Android and iOS — combining reliable connectivity, a fast vector map, and the tools serious operators need in the field.
From core APRS connectivity to the extras that come up on a real activation.
Native Bluetooth Classic, BLE, network KISS, and USB-serial connections — compatible with Mobilinkd, Dire Wolf, and other common TNCs.
No TNC? Decode and encode 1200-baud packet radio directly through your device's microphone and speaker.
Smooth MapLibre vector rendering with real-time rotation, station tracks, and support for offline regions.
Send and receive APRS messages with delivery acknowledgment, automatic retry, and callsign history.
Live DX cluster, POTA, and SOTA activation spots alongside your own station traffic on one map.
Forward heard RF packets to APRS-IS automatically, and gate IS messages back to RF for stations you've heard locally — turn your phone into a gateway, not just a client.
Keep a station log as you operate, with ADIF import and export built in for your existing records.
Real-time AOS/LOS pass tracking for the ISS and other amateur satellites, plus a multi-pass forecast so you can plan around an upcoming pass instead of just watching one happen.
Learn Morse code with a Koch-method trainer, including USB HID keyer output for external gear.
Direct VFO and frequency control for supported Benshi handhelds, right from your station view.
Drop a pin for a trailhead, rally point, or hazard and beacon it as a real APRS object — with a manager to schedule, re-send, or retract it whenever you need.
Get notified the moment a favorite station enters a radius you set — ideal for group hikes or chasing a mobile station.
Have incoming messages and proximity alerts read aloud — hands-free, and a natural fit with the Android Auto / CarPlay integration.
Send a configurable, throttled response to incoming messages when you're driving, climbing, or otherwise away from the keyboard.
APRS-IS, Bluetooth, BLE, and KISS connections all watch for a dropped link and reconnect on their own — no more manually toggling the connection after your phone loses Bluetooth in your pocket or the car.
Get an in-app notification the moment the National Weather Service issues an alert for your current location.
A faded line projects where a moving station likely is between beacons, based on its last known speed and heading.
Built for quick decisions, whether you're at a desk or on a summit.
APRS Vector brings real-time situational awareness to your car's infotainment system, so you can keep track of nearby stations and messages without looking at your phone.
