I can REALLY help here!  Under Maps->Background Color you can change
it to something other than green.  hi hi

No maps _with_ it, however there are a LOT of maps available for you
to download.  Here's a starting place for where to get some
different maps:

By default you can use dosAPRS/winAPRS/macAPRS/pocketAPRS maps and
GNIS maps.

If you compile in Shapelib support, you'll be able to use Shapefile
maps.  Compile in ImageMagick, and you'll have lots of image formats
available to you.
