UI-View came with a few default images.

I assume APRSdos and WinAPRS/MacAPRS come with a few maps, but they
have their own map formats also (ones that we understand).

PocketAPRS I think had separately downloadable maps, in it's own
format.  That's a special case though as memory is at a premium, so
you don't want any maps on there that you're not using.
