TAHO.EXE a source for UI-View maps

TAHO.EXE, an open-source software, facilitates the creation of APRS maps for UI-View by converting free data from OpenStreetMap into the required *.JPG and *.INF file formats. This utility, developed by Dimitri Junker with specific UI-View format support added at the request of HB9DTX, streamlines the process of integrating detailed geographical information into the UI-View platform. It operates on Windows, generating map files with border coordinates in just a few clicks, eliminating the tedious manual creation of *.INF files for custom maps.

This converter allows UI-View users to leverage the continuously updated and community-contributed data of OpenStreetMap, which often surpasses commercial map quality in specific regions. The process is straightforward, with a detailed step-by-step guide available on the OpenStreetMap wiki, translated into French and German. TAHO.EXE significantly enhances the utility of UI-View by providing a readily accessible and continuously improving source of detailed, current geographical maps for displaying APRS station positions and objects.
