rather than as an APRS client. Any map image
(scanned/photographed with a high-res digital camera/downloaded from the
Internet) in GIF, BMP or PNG format with a pair of known lat/long calibration
points on it can be displayed inside UIview. You can cause a cross-hairs to be
displayed at your own position from a local GPS. <br><br>A useful
tool to download already calibrated images from Google Maps, Yahoo Maps or
Microsoft Bing is "Universal Maps Downloader". This shareware utility
can download any number of map images to cover a specified lat/long-bounded
box, and then stitch them together to form a far larger single image, ready to
use in UIivew. You can create images far larger than the small window
you see online on Google and Yahoo maps. I have created large-area
hi-res maps that involved over a thousand tiles!<br><br>UIview can handle
images far larger (in terms of pixels) than the size of the window displaying
them on your PC. UIview then becomes a scrollable viewport showing part
of a far larger image. I have used maps of over 2500
x 3500 pixels in UIview. The key is to reduce the number of colors in
the image to only 256 or even 16 colors.
