Yes that's correct Brian. I got it, and think I'm connected. But I have 
some troubles getting my maps to be shown. I have some from my UI-View32.

Can I use them ?.

I have placed them as such:

lajka2://usr/local/share/xastir/maps # ls -l

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           12 Jan 19 05:57 toposerver.geo

Are the format of the map files not correct ?.

Logfile:


~/src/xastir/xastir-1.2.1> xastir


Built-in map types:
       gnis   USGS GNIS Datapoints
        map   APRSdos Maps
        map   WinAPRS/MacAPRS/X-APRS Maps
        pdb   PocketAPRS Maps

Support for these additional map types has been compiled in:
        geo   URL (Internet maps via wget)
        xpm   X Pixmap Maps (XPM library)
