[Xastir] Moving Station questions

[Dale Seaburg]

As I get my xastir UMPC station ready, I have some questions  
regarding going mobile with xastir.  Understand that when I ask these  
questions, I have no way to test within a mobile environment.  If I  
did, most of the questions would probably become obvious.

1.  Is the general appeal of xastir as a fixed-position (as in non- 
moving) station an accurate one?  I realize that GPS information can  
be fed to xastir, and it has SmartBeacon capability, implying that it  
will work in a mobile environment.  I don't see anything in the Wiki  
or HowTo's to help with the mobile folk.  Maybe I simply overlooked  
it - unfortunately, I'm good at that...

2.  In a mobile environment, can xastir with any of the map types,  
keep the moving station (more or less) centered in the map as the  
vehicle travels?  Kind of like TomTom or any of the GPS display devices?

3.  If not keeping the vehicle more or less centered in a map, can  
xastir, automatically bring up, say the next county or map section as  
the lat/lon of the vehicle enters that county/section?  I'll assume  
the maps have been pre-loaded in the maps directory, but not  
necessarily "selected" for display (map chooser).

4.  Failing the last two questions, does it imply that the vehicle's  
actual route must be pre-planned so the required maps are already  
"selected" (map chooser)?

And finally:

5.  Assuming the route maps have been "selected", will xastir  
"follow" the vehicle as it disappears off the screen?  Or, will  
manual panning be required to advance the map to follow the vehicle?

The TrackMe button implies that the map will keep up with me as I  
travel.  Correct?

Any and all light shed upon this subject is most welcome, and greatly  
appreciated.
