[aprssig] APRSCE Maps?

[Bill York]

the random synchrnonicity of things just amazes me, sometimes. I
started running aprsce just yesterday and started map hunting. i found
the ones on the TAPR site and also found these:
http://radioroom.org/public/APRS/Maps/

they''re substantially larger because of the detail, tho'
