Is there a way to go back to estimated position, I want to be able to move my station around to test different sites without re-entering coordinates.
Just disable MLAT then your location can be off and it’s not an issue.
If you’re moving the site within 20 m / 60 ft, MLAT shouldn’t be too affected but you can still switch it off just to be on the safe side.
I’ve done that but the station location can’t be deleted Id love to get it back to the setup stage where it is guessing the location
That won’t help you if you want a “floating” location - estimation runs for a while then selects a location.
What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Just want to have a roving receiver that doesn’t need a GPS to get the map in the right spot. I’ve turned MLAT off so I’ll just run it like that.

Should the box that opens up with the map overlay options have a scroll option if it does not fit fully on the screen? With my screen set at 100 percent I can’t see the top, if I reduce the screen to 80 percent I can see all of the options.
How can I exit the display status when connected via VNC?
Thanks
There have been accounts of this by a few users. We’ll look into this.
Can you elaborate and/or provide some screenshots?
Awesome! I’m so tech illiterate but upgraded without a problem. I love the new features. Thank everyone here and especially weidehopf and abcd567. You guys have made it possible for me to be able to understand and set up my raspberry pi flightfeeder and antenna. All you guys here are great and thanks for helping those of us who have no understanding of coding.

Just curious…
Upgrade and restart Piaware
Upgrade and restart dump1090
Feeder type looks OK
Map type looks OK
IP address in browser shows placeholder, not CPU etc info.?
Tried on Ffox and Brave.
did you try < ip-adress >/dump1090-fa ?
Surely that is as expected for a package installation.
See this post earlier in this thread.

Correct. The landing page works, but only with the additional package.
Yes, that works fine. I see the map and everything else OK.
Ok thank you. It’s not essential, I may install it at a later date.
I originally installed on an RPi through SSH using the commands here. I think that’s called a package install. So, I tried to follow these instructions:
PiAware 3 Package Upgrade Instructions
You may upgrade by using “Send command to device” and selecting the option “Upgrade and restart PiAware” on the My ADS-B Stats page.
THAT DID NOT WORK, SO I DID THESE ALTERNATE INSTRUCTIONS
Alternatively, repeat the steps in section 2 of the PiAware install page.
WHICH MEANT I JUST RAN THESE COMMANDS:
wget https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/p/piaware-support/piaware-repository_4.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i piaware-repository_4.0_all.deb
On the MYADS-B page, PiAware, FlightAware, and MLAT are all green. When I hover over PiAware, it says "PiAware running PiAware (Debian Package Add-on) 4.0
So, I think it worked, but how can I be sure all is running properly? Do I need to run some command to update dump1090?
@afgoody to see the status of your setup just type piaware-status into your command line and it will give you a “health” update. Alternatively you can use sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa and sudo systemctl status piaware and if you have GPS then sudo systemctl status gpsd to get more detailed information.
Thanks. Here’s what it returned:
PiAware master process (piaware) is running with pid 568.
PiAware ADS-B client (faup1090) is running with pid 671.
PiAware ADS-B UAT client (faup978) is not running (disabled by configuration set tings)
PiAware mlat client (fa-mlat-client) is not running.
Local ADS-B receiver (dump1090-fa) is running with pid 565.
It makes sense that piaware, faup1090, and dump1090-fa indicate they’re running, but how does mlat appear to not be running in the command line, but my flightaware.com ADS-B page shows MLAT “synchronized?”
To the original question though, should I be able to correlate those pid numbers with software versions?
