It's all about the Software

Hi Simon,

I love your World map, and especially the auroral overlay.

Can you expand briefly on where the overlay draws its data from? The auroral overlay seems to be a little bit expanded over the familiar NOAA's latest visual map. Possibly you...

How to turn off?

I really did search all the menus and this forum but could not find a way to not show them.

This morning, Simon's World Map presented me with the attached error message Error.png

All other maps listed on the Select drop down box appear to load just fine when selected. It's just the LargeWorldMapNE3 that will post off this error. My first...

I am using version 1.4.3 of World Map and notice that there is no longer Great Circle in the map projection on the Home page or context menu.
Has this been relocated and I'm just missing its new location or removed altogether as an option.
Thanks.

Hi Simon:

I feel like I am asking for the moon to even ask for DX cluster spots to be added to the program. But is this possible, or no. This is the best world map I have ever seen for hams!

Thanks for creating this.

Is there a way to get the map to fill the screen when maximized? Mine always has a black space to the right of the map.

Hello, I have two rotatable antennas that would be nice to control on the map. Is there a way to control and see more than one antenna on the map?

Thanks, Valdas 5B4AOF

Hoping someone can help. I've been using Simon's World Map for a while and never had an issue setting up satellites. Earlier in the week I noticed that the ISS tracking had fallen behind and refreshed the GPData. From that point on, I have no...

Hi there,
I'm wondering if there's any way I can run Simon's World Map (fullscreen mode) as my desktop background? I tried Wallpaper Engine and it didn't play nicely. I also tried SmartContextMenu which was able to send it to back and enable...

Is there a way to add other speeds into the drop down list of speeds, or is there a tweek to a config file I need to use 1200bd on the serial port as my controller needs that speed?

Hello anyone,

I'm new with this software.

Is it possible to display FT4, FT8, etc... signal on Simon's Map ?

Thank you for the info.

Would it be possible for future updates to have a MUF map? 73 and thanks for a great product!

Following the switch from PDT to PST on 5 Nov/23 here in the USA, noted in the Sunset/Sunrise display box the Sunset value only shows the amount ahead by one hour, i.e. For that date (5 Nov) it reads 17:53 rather than the correct value of 16:53 also...

Hi Simon
Any progress on the 11m DXCC Prefixes ?

Opened my thoroughly awesome SWM, and oh no! Its doing some kind of weird, vertical line thing again, like I stumbled across a long time back... :shock:

Uh, actually, Happy Equinox!!! :mrgreen: :lol:

For those who missed it, set your clock/date...

So,

Yesterday evening I finally added optional station times to the display. Will make a kit soon...

I have created a VSPE virtual splitter port for my rotator so that the World Map can track PSTRotatorAZ. My serial port is COM3 and the splitter virtual port is COM20. While PST works fine on COM20, COM20 isn't listed at all in the World Map port...

I used to be able to click and drag the map to reposition it, but with the v1.3.9, I cannot......

Just downloaded this super map, but I'm not sure how to set up the satellites.
There are no satellites to select. How do I get them?

Cheers
