Bruce Perens is making this 2.6 gigabyte database available in
hopes of spurring development of a free map viewer application.
“There is currently no map display software here, only the map
itself. Unless you’re an author of such software, there isn’t much
I can do for you, so far. Of course, I’ve put this up so that free
map software would be written.”
“Please download the manual first, and please read it, so that
you don’t waste my site’s bandwidth downloading 2.6 Gigabytes of
files you don’t need. I’m paying for net connection, and my pockets
are not deep at the moment. There are about 238 pages in the
manual.”
“Software Developers Only, Please!”
