I get that, but GMRS allows data messages to be sent. Since Vero has been pushing for this, I can see other companies intigrating a APRS lite for GMRS.

I think mesh (when it works) is great for text messages. I thought it was really cool someone got BBS working. The other issue too is message collision (which APRS also suffers from)
