Using which maps?

Possible explanations:

1) You're trying to use Tigermaps and using a previously loaded
tigermap as the current fetches are failing.  I've seen this where
the server was down, but the wget (or libcurl?) fetch didn't report
failure properly.  Xastir thought that it succeeded, then loaded the
image that it already had in memory, which, if you haven't panned or
zoomed lately, might still fit your view.

2) You may be using a map that isn't georeferenced properly.

It's doubtful that the actual station positions are incorrect.  It's
more likely that your reference to those positions (the map) is
incorrect.
