Xastir:  /) = No Symbol
         \) = MEO (MODIS EARTH OBSERVATION)

See Bob's APRS Spec Errata page.  The MEO symbol should be listed
there.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is PMmap?  I thought initially it was
Pmap, short for Precision Mapping software.  Sounds like it's not.

If it's new client software, is it out yet?

What OS'es does it run on?

Can I add it to my chart?  If I can, will you give me inputs for
that so I can get all the boxes filled in correctly?
