Nope.  I could create some though.

Nope.  You suck down the info once from the GPS, it creates a
Shapefile map in maps/GPS/, re-indexes the maps, selects the new
map, and displays it on your screen in the color chosen.

There's another Shapefile map creation function also:  The "Store
Track" button on the Station Info screen will save a station's APRS
track to /var/tmp in Shapefile format.  It doesn't have any of the
niceties the GPS download has though, like labels/choice of colors.
