[aprssig] APRSCE Maps?

[Jason Rausch]

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  When I get home,
I'll try out some of the maps in the directory that is
still there.  When I mentioned the "debunk" directory,
I was referring to the one linked from the old APRS/CE
site.  

Bill, I picked up my PocketPC several months ago and
while I waited for a WM5 compatible CF serial card to
come out, I was playing with APRS/CE and the internet
connection option through the built-in wifi card. 
That way I was able to get familiar with the software.
 I was a longtime PocketAPRS user, I started with an
old Handspring Visor (anyone remember those??) and the
challenge to make the thing talk true serial with a
MAX232 IC, I managed to make it work.  I hated like 
hell to have to abandon PAPRS, but when Mike said "no
more", I knew it was time to move on :o(
