+.SH NAME
+blitmap \- road maps and path finding
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B blitmap
+[
+.I option ...
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Blitmap
+displays road maps.
+It relies on the mouse to select regions, functions, and to give
+formats for typed commands.
+The metropolitan N.Y.-N.J. area is the default map.
+.IR Blitmap's
+screen consists of two frames,
+a large frame for plotting maps and printing messages to the user, and
+a one-line command frame at the bottom.
+.I Blitmap
+recognizes two commands from the keyboard,
+to designate a region and to scale or plot a route
+from one point to another.
+The commands, which may be typed at any time, follow.
+Here
+.I option
+is as in the command line.
+.HP
+[
+.I option ...
+]
+.B radius
+.I address
+[
+.BI , " town or zip

+Plot an area with the given radius in miles around the
+.I address.
+.TP
+.B path
+[
+.I option ...
+]
+.B from
+.I address
+.B to
+.I address
+[
+.BI , " town or zip
+]
+Trace a route on a map and print traveling
+directions from point to point.
+.PP
+.I Address
+may be a number and street or an intersection such as,
+.L main and 10th
+or
+.LR "600 Mountain av,new providence" .
+.LP
+Button 3 Menu

+.TP
+.B Zoom-out
+Enclose an area with a rectangle and the map shown will be reduced to the
+rectangle size and the rest of the map filled in. The center will be at the center
+of the drawn rectangle.
+.TP

+Button 2 controls map editing functions.
+No editing is actually done, but
+by using
+the

+.SH BUGS
+Since the data bases have not been checked and many streets are not connected,
+some paths may be circuitous.
+There are no connecting roads
+from N.J into N.Y or from Middlesex county into Union.
+The routing programs
+will churn, trying to find a through street and will not give up.
+.br
+There are
+no one-way tags on the streets.
+.br
+.I Blitmap
+does not know if it has been reshaped.
