[Xastir] Maps.

[Erik Jakobsen]

Hi all. I seem to be trapped by the maps. I cannot see the whole world, 
as I supreme, that I should could do.

What have other of you in your /maps of files ?.

Can I download any useable, and ready to go maps from a URL, and if so, 
what the address of the URL.

Thanks in advance.
