UI-View32 Map Software

(In case you found this page with a search engine, and you are looking for the main UI-View page, you can find it here HERE.)

There are three types of map software available for UI-View32 -
  1. Programs for making static maps
  2. Plug-in map servers
  3. External display applications

Programs for making static maps

These programs automate the process of making static maps from CD atlases or from online sources.

SA Map Grabber
This program is supplied with UI-View32. It makes it very easy to grab maps from Street Atlas V4, V5, V6, V7, V8 and V9. It will not work with any of the new style versions of Street Atlas, e.g. Street Atlas Deluxe, Street Atlas 2002 and Street Atlas 2003.

MapTool
MapTool is written by Chris van Gorp, PA7RHM. It allows you to make UI-View maps from MapBlast. You can download it from Chris's web site. Please make sure you get the latest update. NOTE - when Microsoft took over MapBlast, they made some changes that stopped MapTool working, so please check Chris's web site for the current status of the program.

UI-Terra
UI-Terra allows you to make maps from Terraserver. You can make both aerial photograph maps (DOQ) and topographic maps (DRG) of the USA. Click here to download UI-Terra. Read UI-Terra.txt in the zip for instructions on how to install it.

UI-Radar
UI-Radar allows you to have a radar image as a map that gets updated at a user specified interval. Click here to download UI-Radar.

Plug-in map servers

Plug-in map servers integrate seamlessly into UI-View32, and provide interactive maps that can be zoomed and panned.

PmapServer
PmapServer uses Precision Mapping V5 from UnderTow Software to provide maps of the USA than can be zoomed down to street level. For more information on PmapServer see the UI-View32 and Precision Mapping page.

DosWinServer
DOSWinServer allows you to use DOS APRS and WinAPRS maps with UI-View32. It has full support for zooming, and tries to select the most appropriate map for the area currently being viewed. A full range of options are available, including manual selection of maps, locking a map to prevent it being changed automatically, and changing the colours used for DOS APRS maps.

Click here to download DosWinServer. The EXE file is an InstallShield self-extracting installer - run it and it will take you into an installation dialogue.

PA7RHM Map Server
The PA7RHM Map Server uses maps from MapBlast (vicinity.com). It provides mapping down to street level detail for everywhere in the world that is covered by MapBlast. To use this server you obviously need an internet connection.

The map server can be downloaded from PA7RHM's web site. NOTE - when Microsoft took over MapBlast, they made some changes that stopped this map server working, so please check the web site for the current status of the server.

External display applications

External display applications interface to UI-View32, and display the APRS station icons on their own map.

UI-Point32
UI-Point32 uses MapPoint 2002. For more information see the UI-Point32 page
