I now have xastir running on both OSX and RH Linux 8.0!
I ported over my old MacAPRS maps and they work fine. I also have
tried out both terraserver and the tiger maps. These are great but a
little slow. I have a few questions left:
1) I have not had any success with findu. I created a file FINDU.geo
with the first line FINDU and the second line N1OFZ per the
instructions. I get the error: Skipping '/sw/xastir/maps/FINDU.geo',
IMAGESIZE tag missing or incorrect. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
2) Has anyone used aprsworld maps with xastir? I would believe that
something has been attempted. I went to:
http://maps.aprsworld.net/docs/xastir.php and there is some information
there but I am not sure how it applies. There is also a map file at
http://maps.aprsworld.net/mapserver/xastir.map but if I copy it down it
gives me a whole string of errors.
3) What Internet servers are people using? I have tried server from
aprs.net and antelope.net and I get streams fine but I do get 'you are
an unverified user, Internet access only.' and 'contact program author
for registration number.'. So I am not sure what needs to be done to
fix this? Or is this OK?
Thanks,
Dana
