[Xastir] Position display - may be datum problem?

[Gerry Creager n5jxs]

What's the origin of the JUSA.MAP?  I'm not sure where it comes from.

I can try to find you some "real" shapefiles.

Have you checked your GPS to determine what datum it's reporting?

Unfortunately, the lack of metadata associated with early APRS maps (and 
most of the maps folks snag to use even now) means tracking down 
origins, datums and projections is difficult if not impossible.
