1a. New install Pmap8 and Server7

Not clear yet. UI instructions for brand new user says install the
server first. Server installation process (and Undertow software)
says to install the Pmap8 first. Which method actually works?
Undertows readme sounds like they insist the user install maps first.

1) The PMap server was originally written for use with Precision
Mapping 7.0. The install information and prompts are now outdated, and
HAVE NOT been updated for use with Precision Mapping 8.0 . The PMap
Server 7 WILL WORK with PMap 8 but the install sequence is different.
See the details here:

I forgot. Should have mentioned this in the previous reply.
Undertow Software (publisher of Precision Mapping) has NOTHING to do
with UIview or the Precision Mapping server. They publish and sell a
CD-ROM-based consumer-oriented street mapping program at retail. This
program (Precision Mapping) just happened to be adopted by a ham
software author as an add-on to an APRS program. They cannot and do not
support UIview or any of it's add-ons. It is pointless to contact
Undertow for support on UIview/PMap Server problems.

For new install, UI says install server first. The server
installation package and also Undertow's readme file, both insist that
you install Pmap8 first. Which method actually works??
thanks and 73

3a. New Feature On My UIview Webserver Maps - U.S. Weather Warning/Watch
Posted by: "Stephen H. Smith" wa8lmf@aol.com edacs450
Date: Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:09 pm ((PST))
I have been experimenting with with some changes and updates to my
UI-Webserver. For some time, I have been using the webserver included
with UI-View to make maps of the APRS activity locally on 2 meters and
across the U.S. on 30M HF visible to anyone on the Internet.
I am now plotting the US National Weather Service weather warning and
watch zones for most of the US on my 30M HF APRS map at:
<http://wa8lmf.dyndns.org:14439>
This UIwebserver is running here at my house over a consumer "768K" ADSL
account whose uplink (outbound) speed is only about 150K. . Details of
the "Ham Superserver" that runs the UIview server and several other ham
Internet apps is here:
<http://wa8lmnf.net/EPIAserver>
If too many people hit this server at the same time, you may get
timeouts or partial loads of the map. If this happens try again.
***** HOW THIS WORKS *****
The UI-NWS add-in for UI-View can automatically plot the U.S. warning
and watch zones on UIview maps, if you have an always-on Internet
connection. These zone outlines are turned on and off by a stream of
messages, passed over the APRS Internet system. The messages come from
a special server that receives US government NWS bulletins and reformats
them into APRS-compatible bulletins. The from "station" address of
these messages is "WXSVR".
The NWS bulletins are received for the entire country, even on
regional-filtered APRS feeds. If you use the port 14580 user-defined
filter port on an APRS server, adding "t/n" to the normal port 14580
filter expression will cause all of the NWS bulletins to be sent, along
with weather-related APRS area objects originated by APRS users.
UI-NWS snags these special messages and uses them to light up the
display of colored translucent area outlines contained in a set of
"shape files" available from the US NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric
Administration) website.
Details on downloading and using the shape files for use with UIview and
other APRS programs is on my website at:
<http://wa8lmf.net/aprs/get_nws_shapefiles.htm>
Details for using shape files with UIview are in the help system within
UI-NWS. Start this plugin by pulling down "File, UI-NWS" from the main
UIview 2.03 program.

OOPS! I slightly mis-stated that. It's not the "from" address that is
"WXSVR" . It's the Internet insertion point that looks like a virtual
igate after the qAO construct in the path of the Internet messages that
is "WXSVR".

Please see <http://www.apritch.myby.co.uk/uiv32.htm> for UI-View registration information.
Precision Mapping version 8 works with UI-View32; the necessary additional PMapServer7 is available for download at <http://www.ui-view.org>.
At <http://wa8lmf.net/aprs/UIview_Notes.htm>, you will find useful hints and info for your UI-View setup and use.
