[Xastir] Idea for re-org of map directories

[Robert Donnell]

So taking this to the next level - set a zoom level number that automaps
will use where it will switch between a close-in and a wide area display
group of settings.

Curt,

	That seems pretty reasonable.  In general I end up using either shape
files or WinAPRS formatted maps for zoomed out tracking of large areas.
When I zoom in for tight work I flip to geotiffs or something like it
(DRGs now).

	The current work I'm doing for the government will be using about a
10km*10km area and DRGs are the map of choice for them.
