I would like to second what Lynn and some others have said regarding
Bob's recent post:

Amen!  The places where I find APRS (and ham radio in general) the most
useful are places that don't have reliable Internet or cell phone
coverage -- think the deserts of northern Nevada, for example.  For me,
cached or offline maps are a must.

Lynn, thanks to you and to all the others who have done such great APRS
development work!  Though we hams may not express our gratitude on a
regular basis, we do appreciate it.
