[Xastir] Iowa State Mesonet Server Maps

[Eric Germann]

I've sometimes found that TAMU's weather maps seem to get stuck, so I 
developed a quickie alternate geo file for the US composite NEXRAD from 
Iowa State.

Copy this to a .geo file in your map directory and you'll be off and 
running.

Cheers
