Precision Mapping Register of the Mapping OCX Control
In order to use APRS-SCS you have to be a registered user of Precision Mapping.
The first time you run APRS-SCS a message box appears asking you to register Precision Mapping.
If I already am a registered user of Precision mapping then why is APRS-SCS asking me to
register Precision mapping again? Even tho the wording of the message box would lead you to
this conclusion the message box is really asking you to register the Mapping OCX control
that APRS-SCS installs on your PC. This is something I have no control over.
The registration is free. Just follow the instructions on the message box.
Precision Mapping Tiger and GDT Data
In Precision Mapping vesion 6 you are givin the choice weather or not you want to use
Tiger Data Maps or GDT Data Maps. GDT maps are more detailed so most users would opt for the GDT
choice. The users who are using APRS-SCS on slow computers should use Tiger Data which
would speed up the drawing of maps.
Also new to Precision Mapping version 6 is the addition of two files. They are TIGER01.sig
and GDT02.sig These two files must be in the subdirectory that States0 points to. If you select
Tiger Data for example and APRS-SCS does not find the TIGER01.sig file in the Path that States0
points then APRS-SCS will issue a error message box stating this fact. Read the message carefully.
