Great job!
I've been away for job some days, I can try this alpha tonight, but I'm tired 
and my friends are on frequency exchanging files... so I can test it during the 
weekend.
Maps are very nice, fast and immediate. This is a great job too!

I have some questions:
   1. How D-RATS use local instead of remote (download just in time) maps?
   2. If I go to KK7DS geo coordinates... maps download tiles and where are they 
memorized? are they all memorized to local hard disk? And if I have not enough 
free space, how can I delete unwanted maps?
   3. I think main window (msg, talks, etc.) need a MHEARD list like a sidebar, 
on the left or right side... to run contextual menus on callsigns... is this of 
D_RATSers interest?

During march we made a local emergency simulation and we will use D-RATS... I'll 
make a brief story to the discussion group to ask your ideas to improve the 
D-RATS use in emergency situations.

Very great job, fine business, Dan.
