versions of WinAPRS allow the use of Precision Maps, HOWEVER, not all versions
of Precision Maps. See below:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=824372817-18042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Version 2.5.1

<DIV><SPAN class=824372817-18042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Versions
2.7.0 and later versions ONLY use PM Version 5, and these maps will only give
you a 2/3 screen. Mark Sproul has basically abandoned supporting Precision
Mapping Maps but will continue to support Version 5 as it works now. At
times he also issues a special version that will use Version 3 or 3.5 with a
full screen view.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=824372817-18042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Beginning
with Version 2.7.0, (Current Version is 2.8.4) he has added support to Tiger
Maps which are Government Maps that you can download for FREE. However,
these Tiger Maps do require a fairly modern FAST computer since they to a lot of
churning and burning during the display cycle of the program. So, for an
old slow computer, you would be better off staying with the Version 2.5.1
program and PM 3 if you can find a copy.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
