BMapper v1.13 will allow you to try the program free of charge, however, if you wish to view current BLIP data you will need to license the progam.

The license fee for BMapper is $50.00 US per year for up to 3 installations.

The license fee must be renewed yearly.

You will also need a Dr. Jack Username and Password to download the data that BMapper displays.

Any fees that Dr. Jack may impose in the future on BLIP data downloads are not covered by this license fee.

To purchase this license on-line, you must have an e-mail address.

Payments are processed through PayPal and PayPal will accept your credit cards.

If you have any version of 1.13 installed and would like to upgrade to the latest, here is the zipped executable, BMapper.zip (0.3 mb), the exe is dated 07/02/2007 11:05 AM.  Simply unzip this file and replace the BMapper.exe in your BMapper directory.

Download the complete BMapper v1.13m for Windows here (this can also be used to upgrade your installation to the most current version but you will need to get a new license code from my BOT if you upgrade with this):   

Installation instructions:

  1. Have your Dr. Jack User name and Password handy as BMapper will not download Blipmap data unless you are registered with Dr. Jack.  This can be obtained through http://www.drjack.net/cgi-bin/FORECAST/auth_register.pl.
  2. Unzip the 3 files (setup.exe, BMapper.CAB and SETUP.LST) inside BMapperSetup???.zip into any directory (preferably an empty directory to start with).
  3. Run setup.exe to install BMapper and proceed with the installation.
  4. Delete the 3 files or the temporary directory, if it was empty to begin with, when the installation is finished. 

Included in the installation is a sample background map of the Mifflin area.

Here are other maps if you prefer:

Simply unzip any of the above map sets and put all the unzipped files in your BMapper installation directory.

If you are having trouble capturing your own map of your area, let us know the bounding coordinates of your area of interest and we will attempt to obtain one for you.

Please e-mail (Dale@BMapper.com) us to report any problems.  Include your phone number in case we can provide a simple solution over the phone.

If you use the Right click sounding feature, you will need this file in your BMapper directory (SoundingURL.txt , use Right click 'Save Linked content as' to save it to you computer) AND you need to set your sounding option 'Model' to Ruc2.
