[aprssig] APRSCE Maps?

[Bill York]

i certainly do remember the visor. i had a gen 1 pilot :)  i'm not at
the WM5 level yet, still have an axim. need to beef it up with a
serial/usb cnxn so i can hook it to my d7 and run aprs/ce. also need
to come up with the $ to register the software.

i'm still very new to ham so i'm trying to space out my expenses.
