How to Use maps for APRS Programs
UI-View
UI-View can use either the .BMP format or .GIF map files. Use
the GIF format for computers with limited storage, or the BMP format as the
preferred format. Note that BMP maps have larger filesizes. Both formats use the same .INF pointer file. Extract or Copy only ONE map
(GIF or BMP) and the INF file to the
\MAP folder.
WinAPRS/MacAPRS
Uses the the MAP format file for vector drawn maps. Extract or Copy the
MAP file to the \Map directory or one of the \Map
subdirectories. For image files use the GIF format file for the map and the GEO format file to
provide references for the GIF map. Extract or Copy the GIF map
and the GEO file into the \Images directory.
Map File Contents
In some case the Zip will contain a BMP, GIF, GEO and INF file.
In other files there will be a GEO, GIF and INF
Other Files may contain only a GIF and GEO or a GEO only.
GIF files created by VA3KGB for those that only came with a BMP file.
Note: For GEO files created by VA3KGB
You may use "Notepad" to remove comment lines to make
GEO file smaller.
