[Xastir] Shapefile help

[Kevin Ratcliff]

Greetings all,

I have a question for the GIS people on the list.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources produces a shapefile (and
associated metadata) of public recreational trails in Indiana. This is
very useful for SAR, and I'm trying to use this shapefile in Xastir.
I've done the ogr2ogr to convert/reproject it, and that seemed to work
as the trails now show up on my Xastir map in the correct locations.

However, my problem is that I also see "connecting" lines between
trail endpoints. When one trail ends I see a straight line that goes
to the start of another trail. I can post a screenshot if you need to
see what I mean.

I realize this may not be 100% Xastir-related, but is there some way I
can resolve this using free or open source tools? ArcGIS does not show
the connecting lines between trails.

Here is the source shapefile if anyone wants to take a look:

Thanks in advance!
