Uh, looks like my brain was subject to some kind of a shortcut when I 
didn't see that.. I guess I was just looking for a separate link to a 
bug tracker, but as Xastir is an SF project I don't think any is needed.

Ok. This station/object selection from a map is another thing I have had 
some issues. Especially if there are several objects/stations in the 
same place or very close togher getting the "station chooser" display I 
want is not reliable. Most of the time if I pick "station info", for 
example, one info screen pops out for one of the stations in that spot 
instead of a station chooser that would list all the stations/objects in 
that location.

Yes, vector maps are superior, but bitmpas are much easier to come by in 
this part of the world. Our governement, for some arcane reason, does 
not provide accurate map information for free, let alone in vector 
format. So many of the maps are bitmaps "stolen" from some mapping 
website or scanned from a paper map.

Anyway thanks for the help, I'll look into the bugs a bit later and file 
the reports.
