Hi Erik!

First of all, the dantracker code has moved to 
https://github.com/kk7ds/dantracker. If you clone that repo (git clone 
https://github.com/kk7ds/dantracker) you'll get some bug fixes and 
metric support. Don't know if that is what you are running, your link 
included in the pdf gave me an 404.

1.
To get metric units you start aprs with the option "-m".

2.
You'll have to get X up and running on your pi. To tell ui to connect to 
a specific X server you should use the DISPLAY environment variable. The 
first X server is numbered ":0". Try starting the ui with "DISPLAY=:0 ./ui".

Hope this helps!
