Unlike oveerlays, you do not need to open any files or use external programs for objects.?? Object creation and use is handled inside UIview.
With the main screen of UIview open, press "F5" to get the object dialog.? Then press "F1" to get the help system details on creating and using objects.????? The information that needs to be entered is very much the same as you do for your own station.
-Latitude?? in DD MM.mm format
-Longitude in DDD MM.mm format
-Name of the object (can be up to 9 letters/.numbers)? I.e. the same maximum length as a ham call with
?with SSID?? Example:? "ARROW-2M"
-Symbol desired - Usually the tower icon for a repeater
-Comment String?? Example:?? "146.960MHz T100 -060 Net Mon 8PM w8rp.org Arrow Club"
Note that the latitude/longitude can be determined two ways:
o?? Go to the location and determine it with a GPS device (or determine it from an external electronic or paper map).
o ? If the map INSIDE UIview has sufficient detail and covers the location of the object, just double-click the location before opening the F5 editor.? The last-clicked location will already be filled into the object-create form. ? [This works especially well with the Precision Mapping Server.? You can scroll and zoom for a very close-up and precise view of the object location, before clicking.]
