USA Mobility now offers four Web-based tools for our resellers. They are available free below. All technical support is provided via this instruction page. Customizing the Web pages requires simple HTML knowledge - no programming of any kind is required. The

Using Coverage Maps
These maps will need to open in a "frameset" in your sites. The layout of these pages is centered aligned within a table. This modification will allow the maps to display in "flush left" as well as "centered" framesets. If your site has a flush left layout and you want this information to display close to your left navigation, you can reduce the percentage of the allowed display area within the "Content" area. You can accomplish this by either reducing the percentage to less than 100%, or, assign that area a precise 480 pixels width.
Following are the instructions for linking these maps to your framesets:
The URL for the generic coverage maps for International (North America, South America, and Central America) and US Continental maps is:
http://www2.airmessage.com/coverage/index.html.
You may link directly to the coverage maps for the US continent at http://www2.airmessage.com/coverage/unitedstates2/index.html.
You may link directly to the coverage maps for International at
http://www2.airmessage.com/coverage/international.html.
The frame where the actual content of the page is presented in the frameset should be named "content".
Flush Left Layout Centered Layout
The content area frame "content" should be linked directly to one of the URLs above, and not to a Web page.
If you use links on a different frame to open the maps in the content area/frame "content", the link should include 'target="content" ' in order to open the maps in the "content" frame.
To have the results of your "zipcode lookup" placed in the same frame where the form is located, find the HTML line that contains the <form .....> tag. At the end of the tag, inside the ">", put ' target="_self" '. The end result should be something like
<form name="myform" method="POST" action="http://www2.airmessage.com/cgi-bin/zipcode.cgi" target="_self">.
The United States map will only display the Continental USA map. Each state is linked to a page with the list of coverage maps for that state. Each of these list items will subsequently open a corresponding area map.
Each of the state level listings and their corresponding map pages have a link back to the main map of the US. These links read: "Return to the US map."
The International map page will display links to North America, South America, and Central American countries. Each link will open a map to the corresponding country.

- Open Winzip
