APRS Software Programs

APRSPlus

APRSPlus is written specifically for the Windows 32 bit environment (Win 95 or NT) by Brent Hildebrand KH2Z. It was the first APRS program to use high resolution maps. Brent found a way to exploit the mapping data from Delorme Street Altas USA.

MACAPRS / WinAPRS
MACAPRS came next, written by Mark Sproul (KB2ICI) and Keith Sproul (WU2Z). They latter converted (ported) the program over to the Windows environment. Both versions first used the same DOS based maps from DOSAPRS. Now, they have linked into Chicago Mapping Corps. Precision Mapping Streets 3.0 program. This has greatly enhanced the maps and look of the program.
APRServe
APRServe by Steve Dimse of Florida. Information about Internet APRS Server software, and the N9UUR-10 IGate Station.

DOSAPRS
Written by Bob Bruninga WB4APR. It operates in the DOS environment, and will run on almost any IBM compatible machine (yes a 386 20 MHz will do nicely). But who uses DOS anymore?
DELORME
I have some information here on the Street Atlas program, and setting up a Tripmate GPS for APRS use.
