A few related notes:
- You can add your coordinates on the Configuration page > General Configuration: Latitude, Longitude, Town (which can include the name of your town, followed by a comma and a space, and then your 6-digit QTH locator grid square), and country. Per Andy Taylor in the Pi-Star Users Support Group: "If you are running D-Star mode, and you add your position information to the dashboard, you will get D-PRS positioning from ircDDBGateway."
- If you want to prevent sending APRS positioning info via Brandmeister, you can add the tag NOGATE or NOAPRS to the Priority Message field in the BrandMeister dashboard. For a hotspot, you can find that field in the My hotspots settings.
- You can add an APRS host on the Configuration page > D-STAR Configuration: APRS Host, and also Yaesu System Fusion Configuration > APRS Host.
- There's also an APRS-related setting in the Expert Editor > ircDDBgateway Quick Editor: aprsEnabled (0 = disabled; 1 = enabled).
- Finally, there's a recent tweet from Jonathan Naylor, G4KLX (https://twitter.com/G4KLX/status/1056303404165857282 talking about something he's working on for MMDVM: "Now have a USB #GPS receiver. Next stage is to write a daemon to interpret the #NMEA sentences and make the position data available to those services that need it. This will allow mobile hotspots to update their location to @aprsfi. #mmdvm"
