[Xastir] Map/ weather radar question

[Bennett, Joe]

I have a laptop with a few state shp files that I downloaded from 
xastir.tamu.edu a while back... Everthing works fine except when I have 
weather radar enabed and it downloads every 300 to 500 seconds... When I 
have the map zoom out to a large zoom level (e.g. 1300+) my laptop just 
cycles through geting weather radar and then reloading the maps off the 
DVDROM... Then almost immediately, starts again... It spend so much time 
worrying about the maps, APRS just gets lost in the process... Is there 
a configuration that can just download the weather radar data and not 
have to update the map every time?
