[Xastir] NWS maps and geo files

[Gerry Creager]

Scott,

You're not asking for the underlying RIDGE maps and I don't think 
they're directly available.  All you're asking for below is the N0R 
(base reflectivity, 0.5deg elevation) GIF.I honestly have not looked at 
where it might put the 	temporary image.

You should use local (or online) maps to get cartography.
