[Xastir] manually generated tiger map problem

[N1OFZ]

Why are you going through such effort?  Turn off your feed, clear all  
stations and turn on snapshots.  Then take a look at .xastir/tmp.  You  
will find snapshot.png and snapshot.geo.  If you want to have multiple  
stored maps rename both files to something meaningful, edit  
snapshot.geo and reference the new name.

I did a whole bunch of maps at different levels like this for a demo  
where I had no Internet connection.  I did tiger, terraserver and  
toposerver maps.  Boy were people blown away!  Since they were local  
they really loaded fast as well.
