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.

Install Precision Mapping 9.0 normally, open the stand-alone version once, but

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

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.

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.

Do you have any other serial devices you could connect,
e.g. another TNC, a GPS receiver or whatever? Once you
have verified that the com port was functioning OK,
you could concentrate on UI-View and the D-700. Of
course, if you have another TNC, it would be a good
test to get UI-View talking with it also.
If not you can always go back to basics...

Make sure there is no flow control enabled!!

Unplug the serial device.

Make sure you have no activity on the screen when you type.

Short pins 2 and 3 on the serial adapter with a small screwdriver, a paper clip or whatever you have around that is the right size, and conductive. Don't short to any other pins or the connector shell.

Now you should see what you type on the screen.

Hi Joe,
I can tell you that Uiview and your d700 should work just fine with windows 10, mine does with no problems. Make sure you use the usb adapter with FTDI as that is generally the only one that work properly.
Check: purchased new FTDI Windows 10 compatible adapter.

Make sure uivew is NOT installed in the PROGRAM FILES directories in the main directory tree, install it anywhere else but not there. Windows 7 and above have some system protection stuff that can block uiview from running properly if it is in the Program files directory. Also when you run uiview make sure you run it with administrator priviliges (just right click on the uiview icon and chose the ¡°run as administrator¡± option). Works better that way.
Check: In C:Peak Systems (local APRS group setup). Have run this (any many others) with Admin).

Also go into the device manager and check the properties of the usb/serial adapter and find out what port number it has set itself up as, then go into the uivew coms setup menu and set the port number there to that port number, also make sure you have the port parameters in uiview set to the same as the adapter has setup for its port number. 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.





Hope this helps,

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.

On 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:&#92;UI-View32 or C:&#92;radio&#92;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 3
different USB-serial adapters, including a US
Converters XS882 with the current FTDI driver.
I've downloaded a terminal program, and tried
to connect to the D700 that way, but don't really
have any experience with this.
First 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.

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.

For North American users, PMap 9 (Precision Mapping 9.0) along with PMapServer 9 can provide street level mapping for all of North America. They can be installed without hassle on Windows 7 & 8. PMapServer is available for download on the UI-View website. However, Undertow Software is no longer selling new copies of PMap 9, but existing owners can continue to use it as long as they can get it registered.

Users of anything newer than Windows XP should not install UI-View below Program Files. Instead, create a folder elsewhere. To view UI-View's built-in context sensitive help file, download and install WinHlp32.exe.

If it wasn't mentioned or hasn't been experienced by you yet, the latest Windows update is running UI-View flawlessly.

No crashes. No Cortana issues. Can add UI-View to Startup sequence on a reboot and does not need to have a different application open first. Scheduler in UI-View can then be used to launch connection to the Internet server and open VW APRS to send the weather beacons (and/or to a web service such as Wunderground.).

Whatever was broke, appears repaired.
