Well, at this point the main reason is to have weather alerts from
the start, but it still requires the user to run the get-NWSdata
script (to download and install the NOAA data files) in order to
make that functional.

We have a default map in the distribution now but it's a WinAPRS
map, created by Keith Sproul.  I would have liked a Shapefile map in
there but didn't find one I liked that was small enough to add to
the distribution.  If we come across one later we can add it easily
enough though.
