PM9 maps zooming in with UU-View
I have PM9 installed, and within UI-view, if I am stopped or going slow - the map will zoom in automatically.
I recall a long time back, this never happened. I did go into PM9 itself and adjusted the speed zoom scale (which I think is when this started) but no matter what I set them to, it zooms in. I use this mobile and I'd like to keep the county level zoom, but just doesn't want to cooperate. Any work arounds or anyone seen this behavior before? I do not use PM9 for my daily GPS driving, just for UI |
Re: Interesting Discovery about UIview and Precision Mapping 9.0
Stephen, That's fantastic. I've been using PM9 in that fashion for several computers. What I'd like to see redeveloped is the weather radar on/over/in UI-View32. There was a "fix" someone posted but was super complicated.
Any takers. Would have been very useful the past few weeks. Yes I do have other programs that display the wx radar but was very convenient on a single screen with UI-View32 running. Not interested in any other version of APRS. Sent from my iPhone 6 73 Bill, W1GTT On Sep 5, 2017, at 3:22 PM, 'Stephen H. Smith' wa8lmf@...

Interesting Discovery about UIview and Precision Mapping 9.0
Precision Mapping 9.0 in conjunction with the "Precision Mapping Server 9.0"
plugin for UIview32 has been the preferred Mapping solution for North American users of UIview. It provides a seamless? fully-zoomable? down-to-street-level view of all of the US & Canada and major roads in Mexico. Precision Mapping 9.0 data (about 3.5GB) resides ENTIRELY on your local hard disk.? NO Internet connection is required, making it invaluable for? in-the-field? use when no Internet connection is available. Traditionally, the Precision Mapping program was installed from a CD or DVD. You started up Precision Mapping? outside of UIview, and went through a registration process on the first-time-run, using an on-line server to receive the "magic number" required to activate the stand-alone program.? You then installed the Precision Mapping Server 9.0 plugin for UIview, so that Precision Mapping's database could be used inside UIview as an alternative to fixed (static) maps. The Precision Mapping program is now out-of-print since the publisher (Undertow Software) abruptly exited the consumer mapping market several years ago.?? [Apparently an victim of the foolish assumption that you will always have cellular data connections and can use Google Maps online instead.]???? Although the product is discontinued, the registration? server has remained online, so that new installs from existing CDs can still be activated. However, there is no guarantee how long this will continue. During a recent new from-scratch UIview32/Precision Mapping 9.0 setup, I accidentally discovered that the registration/activation drill involving the on-line server is ...... ?? NOT REQUIRED IF YOU ONLY WANT TO USE Precision Mapping 9.0 WITH UIview ! Install Precision Mapping 9.0 normally, open the stand-alone version once, but DON'T go through the prompted first-time-run/online registration drill.? Instead, just choose "Later", close the program, reboot and then install the PMap Server 9.0 plug-in. ?? Then start UIview and select the "Precision Mapping Server 9.0" choice in the "Map, Load a Map" pulldown. You only need the on-line registration/activation drill to use Precision Mapping in the stand-alone mode outside of UIview. I.e, even if the on-line registration server disappears, you can still install an unlimited number of UIview/PMap9 setups without it,? from a single DVD or ISO image of Precision Mapping 9.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen H.

Re: Windows 10
Hi Joe,
I am not that familiar with hypoterminal, unless by that you mean the terminal window in Uiview32, if that¡¯s the case then you will not get a cmd prompt if you have the host mode set to KISS in the uiview coms setup window. Kiss mode means the radio does nothing, that is the internal tnc in the radio does nothing. Uiview does everything, meaning it is now the tnc and is in control of the radio. I generally run in Kiss mode and when I want to check whether uiview and the radio are talking, I just go into the action menu in uivew and click the ¡°send a beacon¡± option, if I see the radio transmit within a few seconds I know all is well and the radio and uivew are talking. (It can take a few seconds before the radio will transmit after you click on the on the ¡°send a beacon¡± option if there is heavy on air traffic because the radio will wait for a clear channel before it sends the beacon). By the way hitting F9 will also send a beacon. If you want access to the radio¡¯s tnc, then you need to set the host mode in uiview to NONE and then make sure to go into setup for the NONE option and make sure it is set to the d700. With HOST mode set to NONE, then your external tnc, not uiview is in control of the radio, in this case the tnc in the d700 is in control. Uiview sets up the tnc via program files it has and the options you give it in the setup but uivew in not in direct contol of the radio the tnc is. There are pros and cons for running in either using kiss mode or not, it comes down whatever suites you best and what options you want because some will only work in Kiss mode on and some will only work with kiss mode turned off. Uiview have several options both for HOST mode and KISS mode depending on what you are using are using for a tnc, you can choose the kam, d700 and a bunch of others. Make sure in the setup for either HOST mode or KISS mode you have chosen the d700. Once your host mode is set to NONE and properly setup for the d700, then you will get the cmd prompt in the terminal window of Uiview, and then can control and change parms in the d700 tnc as you need to.

Re: Windows 10
Joe,
I had the same issue with UIView when I upgraded to a windows 10 computer. Interestingly I have another program running on the same computer that also uses serial interface for my weather station. It always worked OK with a USB-Serial interface. My solution for UIView was to download the AGW program ( ). It is easy to set up and solved my issue. I am using a KAM but would think it should work fine with the D-700 also. Monty, NR0A jwilson16@... From: ui-view@... [mailto:ui-view@...] Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2017 4:51 PM To: ui-view@...

The defaults should be baud rate 9600, parity none, data bits 8, stop bits 1. Check: Current setting in the D700 is 1200 baud, but have tried both 1200 & 9600. No joy.

Re: Windows 10
Keith,
Thank you. It is in C:/Peak Systems/UI-View. This was a setup from an area APRS group, but not in Program Files. I can certainly re-install. With hyperterminal, I am in Packet mode at 1200, with the terminal connection at the same speed. The com port is correct. HyperTerminal is showing connected, but I am not getting a CMD prompt. Used Crtl + C to check the mode, no joy. Joe |

I've been running UI-View on my Windows XP laptopOn anything newer than XP, Windows uses UAC... user access control. Where do you have UI-View installed? Is it somewhere other than below "program files"? Yes, you can mess around with things like "install as admin" or "run as admin" but it makes things a lot simpler if you simply install it somewhere else... e.g. C:\UI-View32 or C:\radio\UI-View or whatever. Even if UI-View was previously working under Windows 7, if you have a problem with it now under Windows 10, my recommendation would be to uninstall it and wipe out the old UI-View installation folder and install it somewhere as mentioned above. Of course, if you make a backup copy of the files uiview32.ini and uireg.bin, you can star off with all of your old settings and without having to re-register it. Now I can't connect with my D-700. I've tried 3First things first. Once you have UI-View running without any UAC silliness going on, you could concentrate on the serial port. With the FTDI driver installed, can you "see" the TNC when you connect with a terminal program? Look in the device manager to see what com port the FTDI driver is using. The radio should be set to "packet" instead of "aprs". I suspect your problems will just disappear once you get it installed somewhere other than below Program Files so that UI-View can save changes to the settings in uiviewe32.ini and so that it can save lists of received stations and so on. -- 73 Keith VE7GDH "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!" |

File - Posting guidelines
The UI-View Group is very active. Most already do so,
but here are some some guidelines to follow. 1. Civility... this is practiced well by our members! 2. Sign your messages with your name and callsign. 3. Only post messages and responses that are relevant to UI-View. 4. Use plain text for messages sent to the UI-View support list. When you address some 5000 recipients, you cannot know what their email readers do with HTML formatted messages. Some will experience unreadability. 5. IMPORTANT: When replying to a posting (message), kindly delete all unnecessary text including the trailing text. Only leave the poster's name, callsign and the time stamp, and the text from the prior message about which you are commenting, and then trim the rest. When viewing messages in the Yahoo web based interface, the command [Up Thread] at the top of the message can be used, and many email clients can group messages by thread also. Some members have slow connections or pay for bandwidth. Brevity can often also improve the clarity of your message. Do not top post... i.e. do not type your reply above the quoted text. 6. When replying to a post, please decide if your comment should go to the entire group of about 5000 or directly to the author. Please think before replying to the group... replies like "I sure do agree with that" do not add much to the group. Send thoughts like those directly to the poster please. 7. Postings of sale or swapping of items are not wanted. 8. New members are all moderated for a number of postings. If the messages follow the guidelines, they are approved and the member is changed to un-moderated status. This is a partially moderated list, i.e., only the user's first messages are moderated, but all messages are monitored after posting. If an un-moderated posting is found by the moderators to have a problem, then the poster is changed to moderated status and in most cases also contacted directly to resolve whatever has caused the problem. Actions are taken against those that chronically violate the rules. The reason for this form of moderation is to block spammers from the list and it is working well. 9. Do not add disclaimers to your posts that (1) restrict the ability of other members to use the information you post, (2) claim a copyright to your post, or (3) to claim any type of "rights" as a consequence of another member replying to your post either directly to you or to the group. 10. Do not use anti-spam tools like challenge/response; the moderators will not respond, and since messages to you then will bounce, you most probably will be removed as a user of the group. |
