I've been asked by a station in the US if it will be released for general
availability soon?
The main problem is support. I have no idea what suitable maps are
available in other countries, and I know that I would be inundated with
questions from overseas users. It's very easy with something like this
to reach a point where all the time you have available to spend on it is
actually spent on support, and so development of the program grinds to a
halt.
Also, at the moment in the USA, controversy has finally erupted over
WB4APR's attempts to restrict the writing of APRS compatible software.
(I'm amazed that he managed to keep the lid on it for so many years!)
Therefore I certainly wouldn't want anyone over there to start using
UI-View, in case it got involved in the argument.
