[Xastir] Map clutter

[John Kraus]

Morning,

I have 2 questions and I will try to keep them brief.

First what is the status of using the DOS maps as a built in base map 
system for ham use?  Bob did agree to their ham only usa as long as there 
is a notification of such.  I am willing to put together a basic package of 
dos maps either for inclusion in the main tarball or for hosting on the 
Xastir site.

Second has there been any consideration to providing the operator with the 
ability to filter the map display by icon symbol as it is done in 
UI-View?  This is one of that programs best features and is very handy when 
you want to limit display.  I find xastir's system difficult to fine tune 
and the icon designator should provide a perfect tool to allow precise 
tailoring of the display.

I often block display of all symbols and then enable only the ones I want 
to see.  I don't need to see all the purty houses but would like to see 
other fixed stations.
