[Xastir] Making better looking maps

[Gerry Creager]

The first is a hold-harmless: They don't want to be responsible for 
stupid user tricks when you use Google Earth in a manner they can't 
prove is safe.

The second is to allow them and their license-holders the right and 
opportunity to see hard-copy output in large volumes.

I've discussed the first with them directly.  They're intrigued by 
Xastir (and APRS in general) and see it not as a violation.  Even if 
used in your car.
