Because they are used for the Locate Map Feature function as well.
If they were located just anywhere in your maps heirarchy, Xastir
wouldn't know where to look for them.

Create the symlink into your maps directories somewhere so that you
can use them as maps as well.  It's what I do, and what was intended
originally.


    cd /usr/local/share/xastir/maps
    ln -s ../GNIS
