Ok. The specifications for the formats used in the shapefiles are 
publicly available, but unfortunately only in Finnish, for the time 
being anyway. I got the roads visible on my Xastir via using that 
ogr2ogr command, I'll have to dig around more when I have the time. 
Thanks a lot for your help! Even getting the roads visible is a lot 
better than what we had before of Finland.
