AirNav:
For your next project, I respectfully request "TrainTrax"! You've got my aviation hobby covered well ... now my railroad hobby could use some expert assistance. Here's a link to get you started.

Thanks! :)

Unfortunately, it's not possible to track trains using this system in the UK, as they don't have it fitted as far as I know.
-
There's always TrainPlotter - http://www.coaa.co.uk/trainplotter.htm
-
Still doesn't work for UK trains though :-(
TrainPlotter decodes, displays and plots radio data transmissions between Trains and Controllers coded in accordance with UIC (INTERNATIONAL UNION OF RAILWAYS) protocol UIC 751-3 in the 460 MHz band, as used in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands and Spain.

To be direct we have in our mind a Satellite Tracking application (we've always had this idea). Anyway so much work with RadarBox + ShipTrax + FlightWatch that it will be virtually impossible to develop it during the next year.

Airnav,
Satellite Tracking application is a good idea.
i agree with that, excellent.

Hi There,
Please can you tell me what 'flight watch' is about?
Thanks
-
It is an integrated software that shows flights from:
- FAA ASDI (FAA Radar System);
- RadarBox
- RadarBox Network
- ACARS
- HFDL
- Flight Plans
It can virtually track all flights in the world. Lots of work to finish it yet.
-
Hmm, interesting idea, but sadly "TrainTrax" will never happen in the UK
Being a Signaller myself on the railway for Network Rail, the only way I can see how to track trains would be via the developing GSM-R system, to which access to this information by third-parties would never be allowed/happen.

Airnav. Concentrate on what you do best. Air Flight tracking :) Traintrax and ShipTrax are separate issues that should be raised elsewhere!
-
ShipTrax is not a separate issue. It will be the most successful ship tracking application available. :-)
