Jerry did update the code in map_gnis, but since the new format files lack
population data, and Xastir uses the population field to filter small towns and
villages from high zoom-level views, you might not like how they look.

I haven't updated the code since before those changes --- do they maintain
the ability to use old format GNIS data?  The old format files are still 
archived at aprs.tamu.edu

Jerry also updated the script that fetches GNIS files, so it probably has the
right paths to get the data.
