/usr/local/lib/xastir/inf2geo.pl name_of_map

For instance:

    /usr/local/lib/xastir/inf2geo.pl usacntrl

The script should create usacntrl.geo, at least if you have
Perl and ImageMagick properly installed.

Once you have that, start up Xastir, reindex your maps, and the map
should then appear when you bring up Map Chooser.
