Time to look at AVL again, now that I have landed in Sonoma county. OpenGTS and Traccar only know about GSM/GPRS devices. I want to work with APRS since that's what I have available.

Shaded relief
To learn more than you could want to know about color and shading on maps, visit these sites.
http://www.reliefshading.com/ has articles by Bill Patterson of the National Park Service on producing 2d and 3D maps using natural colors.
http://shadedrelief.com/ has lots of information on shading techniques and very interesting articles about cartographers.
Swiss hillshading (and lots of cartography info) http://mappractical.blogspot.com/2011/09/swiss-hillshade-model-in-arcmap.html
