Xastir maps leave a lot to be desired, but it DOES igate/digi
decently. AS far as I know, there is no truly-native Mackintosh
APRS client except for the decades-out-of-date MacAPRS that was
compiled for classic pre-System X Macs. Further, MacAPRS suffers
from lack of any remotely current maps. <br>

Of course, you could always run a virtual machine loaded with Win98
or 2000 running Uiview or APRSICE on the Mac desktop. [Win98 and
Win 2000 need only a fraction of the RAM and hard disk space
required by WinXP, Vista or Win7. UIview works just fine on these
older versions of Windows.]<br>
