[aprssig] ISS Traffic

[Andrew Rich]

Stephen,

One of the guys on the sig sent me a LINUX script that you can put in your
lat and lon and the perl script grabs google maps from you center - so many
tiles wide and high.

You then make up a geo file for the finished tiled image.

I can now "grow" as many google maps offile .

  Good work as always Andrew :)

  Hey had a question on this:

  http://vk4tec.no-ip.org/snapshot.jpg

  What are you doing with your maps? They look great! I'd like mine to look
the same way as far as color schemes etc using the Tiger maps but can't seem
to find the time to learn how they work.....
