Precision Mapping Registration
|
Howdy;
I installed Precision Mapping and Streets v9 per directions listed by WA8LMF. All went well until I needed to use the "RegisterMyApp" link mentioned and all I get is an "HTTP Error 503.The service is unavailable. Tried directly, same response. Any links that may go to Undertow Software do the same. Did Undertow suddenly go away? Is there a fix to get around this? Suggestions? Thanks 73 Mike - N7ZEF |

APRS Server List: To update the APRS Server List, change the download URL to... aprs2.net/APRServe2.txt 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聽 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.
