  Yes, you can download maps. Put them in the maps directory and reindex 
maps to make them visible.

But before that, How did you configure xastir?  WHen you ran ./configure, 
it output a series of messages that told you what kinds of map types were 
supported.  Can you cut-n-paste the report from the end of the configure 
output, and show us how your copy is configured?

Here's what mine looks like:

<quote>

options and external libraries:

RECOMMENDED OPTIONS:

   pcre (Shapefile customization) ......... : yes
   dbfawk (Shapefile customization) ....... : yes
   rtree indexing (Shapefile speedups) .... : yes
   map caching (Raster map speedups) ...... : no

xastir will be installed in /usr/local/bin.
Type 'make' to build Xastir (Use 'gmake' instead on some systems).
