[drats_users] Maps/how to display/where's the cache?

[Rick Low]

Thanks to Dan Cooley I confirm that the maps are resident on my hard drive
as many .png files. Had to "unhide" folders using the WinXP folder options
in order to access this info.

Problem of "wrong map" still exists. All I see when I open the D-RATS
Station Map window is "Me" in the middle, and the label "Penagrande". When I
expand the plot list at the bottom, it shows Me at Latitude 0.0000/Longitude
0.0000. All this in lieu of my actual position near Washington, DC.

For Main Settings I have:

Enable chat logging: checked enabled

Current Latitude:38(deg)55.247
Current Longitude: -77(deg)21.303
Current Altitude: 415
Units: Imperial

Any help appreciated! 73 Rick N6CY

I don't seem to be using maps correctly. When I open the Map window, all I
get is "no data" and one plotted point at (I think) 0 degrees Lat/Long. This
is what the ME data line says, even though I've put in my data as (near) 39N
77.5W

My laptop is normally not connected to the internet; but last evening hooked
up, used the Map Downloader, and saw the progress bar which went to
completion. Shut down the laptop and hooked it up to the ID-800H. Then let
it run for a bit and opened up the Map window. Still no map graphics.

If I look on the hard drive, to where did the map graphics data get
downloaded?
