It appears there may only be a couple of mobiles using APRS for the
FQP. Searching aprs.fi I only found AD4ES and NO5W with a recent
presence on APRS. Hopefully both will be running APRS during the QSO party.
I really enjoy using APRS to follow QSO party mobiles. It's easy to
spot when they are in a new county or about to enter a new county. It
would be nice if ALL the mobiles would give APRS a try. With an iPhone
or Android you can be on APRS in just a few minutes and it uses very
little data.
Here is an aprs.fi map with a Florida county overlay showing the last
location of AD4ES.

You can easily show multiple stations by separating them by a space in
the aprs.fi search box.
How about it. Can we get more mobiles on APRS?
