But they're extremely weird and extremely unusual, and they've never happened to me. Well, the corrupted Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:50:39 GMT cr4130 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/594 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/594 ... Some more observations and clues to the X's and corruption problems. I have had the X's appear on a fully tiled screen that was populated before I Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:14:55 GMT cr4130 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/593 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/593 I'm not sure it has been mentioned yet, but when I get the dreaded X'es on a screen which which was already partially filled, they overlay on the already Sun, 11 Oct 2009 02:23:56 GMT Doug Cox http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/592 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/592 You also have something. Those occasional X's have been a bother off and on. But I preferred to ignore the problem. It occurs in a complex set of routines that Sun, 11 Oct 2009 02:15:37 GMT Doug Cox http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/591 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/591 I'll think about the X problem. The user agent that's sent is "USAPhotoMaps". That may be the problem. I'll work on making it changeable (in USAPM.ini, I Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:49:07 GMT gnuarm http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/590 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/590 I'm not sure if I have seen the same problem as you or not. I sometimes see picture quads either not show up (X's) or other times corrupted data displaying Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:33:41 GMT cr4130 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/589 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/589 ... I wonder if an optional short (maybe adjustable) delay of some milliseconds might help the X problem. Maybe a configurable value for how many requests are Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:39:17 GMT Doug Cox http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/588 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/588 It still seems to download fine on my small-resolution laptop computer (1280x800). I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft were making the download process less Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:09:08 GMT cr4130 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/587 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/587 I experience both the line corruption and X's problem frequently in Topo mode and occasionally in Photo mode. It's frankly maddening.

I bet Doug Cox is pretty proud of that! I'm glad that this program has found such an important use. I only wish we could get some more current maps.

Serial ports under Windows has gotten more and more complex so that any given program may or may not work Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:11:10 GMT gnuarm http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/582 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/582 ... I'm curious, what do you use it for exactly? Have you ever used it for car navigation like a GPS? I have thought of doing that, but my laptop is a 17" and Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:14:28 GMT John Sperr http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/581 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/USAphotomaps/message/581 From the GPS menu help file: /USAPhotoMaps can show position with a bluethooth connection to a GPS receiver, because all bluethooth GPS receivers emulate a
