If you use the .torrent files, please seed. That web<br> server is in the UK, and it helps to have some peers on this<br> side of the Atlantic.<br><br>Why is my map missing small rectangular areas?<br><br> There have been some missing tiles from Lambertus's map (the<br> red rectangles), I don't see any at the moment, so you may<br> want to update if you had issues with the last set.<br><br>Why can I not copy the large files to my new SD card?<br><br> If you buy a new card (especially SDHC), some are FAT16 from<br> the factory. I had to reformat it to let me create a >2GB<br> file.<br><br>Does your map cover Mexico/Canada?<br><br> Yes!! I have, for the purposes of this map, annexed Ontario<br> in to the USA. Some areas of North America that are close<br> to the US also just happen to get pulled in to these maps.<br> This might not happen forever, and if you would like your<br> non-US area to get included, let me know. <br><br>-- Dave<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Talk-us mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Talk-us@openstreetmap.org">Talk-us@openstreetmap.org</a><br><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us" target="_blank">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us</a><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>-----Original Message-----<br>From: aprssig [mailto:aprssig-bounces@tapr.org] On Behalf Of Greg Troxel<br>Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2018 12:08 PM<br>To: Charles Doughtie<br>Cc: aprssig@tapr.org<br>Subject: Re: [aprssig] A short little APRS story - and sob story</p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>> I had a similar experience a while back.
