[Xastir] Beginner - weather radar maps?

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

First, since I'm not doing a great job of keeping Curt updated on all 
I'm doing with the .geo's, I'd ask all to periodically go to 
http://mesonet.tamu.edu/APRS and snag the .geo's of interest.  I am 
still doing some tweaking because of system/program/operator problems 
and that's where I post the working files... or, at least I HOPE they 
work.  I do try to test 'em.

But, to answer the question...

Place USrad.geo in /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/radar.  Use (from the 
pull-down menu) MAP->Map Chooser to select the file, then select the 
Properties button and tell the program to make USrad.geo an AutoMap. 
Close, Apply, and you should be downloading a radar image that'll 
automagically georegister to your display area.
