Good idea but it won't work for my needs, as stations are in separate 
mobile chase units, frequently miles apart.

I also checked the javAPRS web page and couldn't find reference to 
shapefile support - only aprsDOS, gif, and TIGER (online maps generated 
by the census server, it appears?).

The DOS maps may be small and fast, but they're pretty well useless for 
finding a balloon on the ground in unknown territory (and it always 
is...)  xastir gives me the detail I need to get the job done.

I looked at AFU previously, but couldn't get very far as my "German for 
reading" I took nearly 20 years ago has evaporated entirely.  Maybe I 
should look harder for an English version?  Haven't tried MEPIS yet, 
but I'll check it out.

thanks,
Jason
