Everyone,
I know in the past I had this problem, but can't figure out the solution. I
have javAPRS running on www.miaprs.net for Michigan and want to add the
upper penn. so I got the maps file MI-UPPER.MAP as Bob suggested and added
the map to the directory and added the source to my HTML page.
However the map always loads blank. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

The short version: Finally working again. :)
I had been picking up parts for a couple years, and experimenting with
different configuratons and layouts, and finally last summer, I hit on the
combination that I liked. Way back in October, I pulled the radios out of
the car with the intention of re-wiring everything. I had the strobe
circuits done, and the front (voice) radio deck done when I went into the
hospital with pancreatitis.
So, after a short distraction of $250k, two months in the hospital, and
another two months in recovery, I have the rear radios up and running.
I used an ammo can to house a pair of FT-1500s, one for voice/SSTV on
146.46 and the other for APRS, as well as a KPC-3 plus TNC. Two BNCs for
antenna connects, one male DB-9 for modified tripmate GPS input, (+12V on
pin 9) and one female DB-9 for a USB/Serial adaptor that allows me to run
UI-View up front with my no-serial-port laptop. I may yet try to work in
the Hamhud, as I really like it's corner pegging, but running a laptop and
the hamhud requires some inconvenient switching.
Also, UI-View can put the GPS data out on a second port, as if that was a
GPS unit. If you then link that port to a third port with a crossover
cable, you can run other mapping programs that take GPS in from the serial
port. This is all made easier with an Edgeport 4 from Ebay. One USB input,
four 9 pin serial ports out. No wall-wart required, the Edgeport (even the
eight port model) are all powered from the USB bus. They typically sell
for about $10 on ebay. I even end up with a spare serial port :)
SSTV comes in on a long mouse-keyboard extension cable from the front deck,
to a DIN-6 female on the box, which mirrors the data jack pinout on the
FT-1500's and the TM-V7a up front. This accepts either the Kenwood VC-H1
or the Tasco scan converter for SSTV. The SSTV system also has a five pole
helical filter from a Motorola VHF system, and an ARR Gaasfet pre amp. The
filter keeps the APRS system from punching holes in received pictures, even
though it's 50W and 6' away. There's also a mic in the ammo can, connected
to this rig for voice. The filter is a bit narrow, but will allow 146.520
and a bit above with no problems.
Power feeds in from the front on a #8 feed up to the dash where it joins
the front deck #8 into a #4 to the battery. The back has a 75A powerpole
connection, which matches the power pole on my jumper cables, and there's a
splitter into four 15A powerpoles that match the four on the ammo can. I
only need one to feed the can, but all four are wired in parallel, so I can
plug all four in for normal use, so they are all protected, then pull out
three giving me six outlets for other things.
The antennas are a bit of a compromise. At the moment, I'm using RS/Larsen
glassmounts, but I will change over to 5/8 lip mounts as soon as practical.
The whole rig can be removed from the car in about 10 seconds, and
re-installed in about 15 seconds.
When removed from the car, you have an APRS station, and a voice station.
The BNCs on the back make an easy point to connect any sort of base/field
antenna. All the equipment is powerpoled (OCRACES standard) and
connectored, so the box can even be completely broken down and the
equipment moved to other locations if need be.
I also put in also one of those "nifty quick reference" sheets on the
1500's since they are a little tricky to operate. Normally both radios are
locked into their respective channels, but you can easily(?) get them over
to VFO and go wherever you like.
Now I'm going to drive it for a while, and if everything works nicely, then
I'll finalize the wiring and replace the PVC data wiring with silver/teflon
flight wire, and properly heat-shrink everything. But, no sense doing that
yet, till I'm sure everything's handled and right.
It doesn't look like much, and that's part of the reason I did it this way.
It's just an ugly old ammo can, with some connectors. It doesn't look like
an expensive and pawnable pile of radio gear.
So, KC6ETE-9 is back on the air, and fully operational again.
Kind of like me :)

Rename your file to MI-UPPER.mp (and make the appropriate changes to the
map list). Your web server is interpreting the .map extension as an
HTML map file.

I would like to brush up on my PERL programming skills.
Could you send me some PCSAT telemetry data ?
Cheers
