         Ah, OK.  Sorry PM7 won't do the job.  I guess what you want 
then, would be Xastir -- it allows you to download topo maps from 
somewhere, but I can't remember the specific details.  I was using 
Xastir on my laptop, via VMware, but the laptop rolled over and died 
a few months ago.  Oh well, that's life I guess.
