Wrong version.  5.5.3 is known to work.

You have pocketAPRS/dosAPRS/WinAPRS/USGS GNIS maps available to you
without any additional libraries.  That'll give you some maps to
play with.


If you run the latest greatest CVS version and can get ImageMagick
5.5.3 support compiled in, you'll instantly have online street maps
(Tigermap server), online satellite images (Terraserver), and online
topographic maps (Terraserver again), plus lots more available maps
like weather radar.

If you then get Shapelib compiled in, you'll have weather alerts
available.  You'll need to download the weather alert shapefiles
from NOAA or from my wetnet site.
