[Xastir] Map creation help

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Don't ask me about the problems associated with .wld files I had when

meeting,  via wireless, on less than no sleep and having to still 
participate...

You'll get the .geo right!

If you want to post corner coord's and the .geo you have, I can help...
