Hi John,

PocetSat+ uses 222k in my Sony Clie, 534k for the maps plus another 20k or so
for Keps and misc files. So it's all less than a MEG. I ran it on the Zire 30(?)
the smaller cheaper Zire and it ran fine with no extra memory.

TX-Grids http://www.palmdawg.com is useful if you are operating mobile and have
a GPS. It takes your co-ordinates and spits out the grid for ya. No thinking
involved ;)

73 and I'll see ya on the sats
