Is anyone concerned that as new user the first thing i discovered it that this program has not had any updates in 10 years and secondly
RVPNG-2013 and Precision Mapping...
RV Plan 'N Go 2013 and Precision Mapping v9.0 is no longer available from Undertow Software. You may want to check Amazon, e-bay, etc. to see if any resellers have any stock left.
Support for these products is available by emailing: support@... mailto:support@...
Updates to the Parks database for RV Plan N' Go 2013 will still be released and be available as a download for current users of the program.
No updates that I could find as of today. Many poor reviews though.
My GPS's are updated every 6 months as things change
Before I invest time and money I want to know it will be around for a while...

Thanks,

UI-View hasn't been updated and never will be as the developer died and
instructed that the source code be destroyed upon his death. despite that
UI-View still works and provides good functionality, at least for me and
many others. that being said UI-View is not the only game in town. I'm
sure you'll be able to find one that meets your needs.

The core program may not have been updated for some time, but anyone can create add-ons for it, and even without them, it is still pretty much the gold standard for a APRS. There are other eight PRS clients out there, and I am sure they all have their strengths, but you live you is very usable and user friendly.

and secondly RVPNG-2013 and Precision Mapping... RV Plan 'N Go 2013 and Precision Mapping v9.0 is no longer available from Undertow Software.

The lucky owners of Precision Mapping Streets & Traveler have Street level mapping for all of North America. I am not aware of the other program being compatible. It is also super-easy to make static maps for you UI-View.

You may want to check Amazon, e-bay, etc.

The supply might be drying up but they could still be a few copies out there.

Before Roger was cold in his grave, a few nay-sayers were saying "what shall we use now?" but here we are all these years later still using it. There may come a day when something prevents its use, but for now we might as well enjoy using it.

Precision Mapping has been discontinued by it's publisher, but it has been
spotted on the Bittorrent file sharing networks. Do a search on

Following the rule of KISS which i think fits...."if its not broke dont fix it".

I build my own maps from MS Streets n Trips. Most users I know dont use or have high detailed or up to date maps. On my setup here at home i look at a 7 state area as my base map. Not the complete map of each state but portions of each centered on my QTH.


But If you need that much detail go to aprs.fi. I have downloaded Topo maps for an App on my phone for offline use that gives the detail i prefer when off roading and such but still dont use or need them on APRS. Would it be useful for SAR? Possibly but how many people you know who get lost are Hams and run APRS? Maybe it would save time or be useful to SAR but i can easily switch from one device to the other and through the use of terrain association learned in my 8 yrs in the Infantry normally get out of a tricky situation and or find my way back to a land mark.


To me the thing is be flexible because you never know when something will crash break or just plain die on you. So not having the most up to date maps for UI View is no big deal to me. I actually prefer old Military topo maps. They have alot more terrain features and useful landmarks.


Thats my 2 cents worth. =]
