UI-View

What is UI-View?

UI-View is an APRS-type application for Windows by G4IDE. It differs from most APRS software in that it isn't designed just to be used with TNCs in terminal mode. It also supports TNCs in KISS mode, AGWPE host mode and BPQ host mode. The host mode support means that it can be used with an extremely wide range of packet hardware and allows up to 16 RF ports to be used.

UI-View has a full-featured internal intelligent digipeater.

UI-View has full support for connecting to APRS servers on the internet.

UI-View has an open architecture. It is designed to make it easy for other software authors to write add-on applications that provide additional functionality.

There are two versions of UI-View:

The 16 bit version will work on Win31, Win95 and Win98. It is supplied as "registration-ware". An unregistered copy is almost fully functional (the only restriction is that some of the IGATE functionality is disabled). Registration costs 10 UK pounds.

UI-View32 is a 32 bit version and so needs a 32 bit version of Windows - Win95, Win98, Win2000, etc. It is for registered users only. To be able to use it, you must register your copy of the 16 bit version (for a nominal fee).

UI-View Maps

Here are some local maps supplied by Eric Reid (VE3GSI)ve3gsi@canada.com

Two map formats have been included within the zip files released on Jan.2/01. Either format is useable with UIView. Use the gif format for computers with limited storage, or the bmp format as the preferred format.

To reduce file transfer size, future zip files will not include a separate gif file. If you have any of several freeware graphic tools, you can read in the bmp file and save it in gif format. It will be significantly smaller, slightly slower to load, and slightly lower resolution than the bmp.

For thumbnails of the maps, checkout the Kingston site at http://www.king.igs.net/~karc/aprs/aprs_maps.htm Thanks Chip.

Both formats use the same .inf pointer file. Copy only ONE map format to the \MAP folder.
