![]() ![]() I have not tried accessing the pictures to copy out to other programs, but I'll give it a go later. This was something that was carried out by a company who were payed by the UK government and offered, free, to anyone applying for a copy. I've also obtained a free CD-ROM of aerial photographs of the UK. The one I have was sold through the Ordnance Survey, which is the official government mapping service in the UK. I bought mine, in a proper shop, for under £10 (about US$7) and I can copy from it into a variety of programs. There are a couple of fairly cheap map CD-ROMs available for the UK. I've never looked into buying maps outside of the US, but I understand they are much more expensive if they are available at all. The reason the maps and photos only cover the US is that the US is the only country that makes their maps and photos available online for free. Especially where you've bought the map in the first place, or get copies via Libraries etc. Although, there are relaxations now for private use. If I need to scan, that's no technical problem, but I'd suggest being careful of copyright. The 'use your own maps' feature would be interesting, would these be scanned maps or could they be taken off a CD-ROM such as those sold via the Ordnance Survey I wonder? I use a program, called UI-View, for APRS which allows you to import from the Ordnance Survey CD-ROMs. I have a CD-ROM, which was distributed free, of aerial photographs of the UK. I have to say that EasyGPS has been very useful to me already. Thanks for the information, I'll try the trial download and see what it can do. ExpertGPS comes with free upgrades, and one of the planned features we will be releasing later this year will let you use ExpertGPS with your own maps. An incomplete uninstallation of a program may cause problems, which is why thorough removal of programs is recommended.The aerial photos and topos only cover the USA. There could be other causes why users may not be able to uninstall ExpertGPS.
