  • Configure AGWTracker….Tools>Setup>Program Properties>Station: Your APRS SSID or call,  GPS coordinates (enter manually for fixed station)
  • Maps….To start with you can download the UIView maps .   They need to be unzipped to your AGWTracker maps directory. (Look for the path in Setup>Program Properties>Maps)
  • Once you have maps in the directory run your mouse to the top of the AGWTracker page across a small folder and click to load map from the maps folder.
