<DIV>The problem I had with APRSIS and still have with it, is that it won’t
handle my weather data from Weather Display like UI-View does, it seems to
slowly drift off and stop receiving packets, I don’t know why but it works for a
while then just slowly dies, but I can close it and open UI-View and the TNC is
still sending in KISS to the computer just fine. Ok on the igate stuff,
too complicated, I set up the igate on UI-View with a few mouse clicks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh and UI-View is FREE, the addon map server is FREE, and the maps are
FREE. I don’t know why everyone seems to think it costs money. All
you need is the PA7RHM map server, works great, zoom in and out, pan around,
does it all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another comment on AGWTracker... $49 for something that is bloated.
That’s another problem, want to do this, oh download another file, want to do
that, download another file. I had to download a half dozen different
things and it never did igate correctly and the weather data always
dissapeared.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I run UI-View 24/7 on a Win 7 computer that is dedicated to it and a ton of
other functions. One computer does my weather station, igate, digi, two
scanner feeds to radioreference, weather webcam to weatherunderground and my
website, and echolink to my repeater for linking with other area
repeaters. Gets rebooted once a week on Sunday for updates and other than
that it just hums along. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I tried AGW it would randomly lock up, too much memory use.</DIV>

<DIV>Because these up to date actively supported programs don’t do what
UI-View does. I have APRSIS32 installed on one computer here, its neat
to look at, but that’s about it. The mapping sucks, looks blurry and
doesn’t have the detail the map server in UI-View pulls down from the
internet</DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>The latest version of APRSISCE/32
supports additional tile servers, so if you don't like the default of
OpenStreetMap.org, you can set up your own. But I suspect you just didn't
know to hit right arrow to darken up the maps. APRSISCE/32 focuses on the
stations, not the map, so it run a 50% transparency in the default
install. Left arrow makes it even more transparent (faded) and right arrow
makes the maps darker. See also <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext

find.</DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>APRSISCE/32 performs IGate functions
from RF to -IS automatically when you create an RF Port. It also defaults
to gating messages from -IS to RF for recently heard local stations.
The next major body of work will be bringing filtered additional -IS to RF
IGating with tunable rate limits to avoid saturating the channel when the packet
rates change on the APRS-IS.<BR><BR>Digipeating has been support for a long time
now, but it currently requires editing the XML configuration file to enable
it. The next major body of work will be enhancing this by adding more
friendly configuration dialogs as well as making the digipeater configuration
port-specific. Cross-Port repeating is also planned in the upcoming
changes. See also <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext

you haven't looked at it recently, or aren't running the current version (as
easy as bringing up the About box), give it another try. And if you post
