APRS Tracking with a UV-3R

I'm embarking on YANP (Yet Another New Project).  My goal is to be able to track my rockets that go out of visual contact.  I bought a 10 watt beacon for the truck.  That was stupid easy.  I bought parts for the rocket but I have an incompatibility in a cable that I need to resolve.  No big deal.

What I need to work out now is the receiver that displays the rocket's position.  I bought a Baofeng UV-3R for receiving the APRS signal.  I need to program it and connect it to a decoder.  Another work in progress.
