Built-in map types:
gnis USGS GNIS Datapoints
map APRSdos Maps
map WinAPRS/MacAPRS/X-APRS Maps
pdb PocketAPRS Maps

Support for these additional map types has been compiled in:
geo Image Map (ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick library, many formats allowed)
shp ESRI Shapefile Maps (Shapelib library)
tif USGS DRG Geotiff Topographic Maps (libgeotiff/libproj)
tab MapInfo TAB
mid MapInfo MID
mif MapInfo MIF
ddf Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS)
rt1 US Census Bureau TIGER/Line
s57 International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57
dgn MicroStation DGN

Ran "Map->Configure->Index: Reindex ALL Maps" from the menu, and the 
maps did show up in the chooser. Apparently the "Index new maps on start 
up" menu option doesn't work as expected.

Referencing the above console output, the warnings are interestinge, 
because wget is installed, and ia32-libs-libcurl3, libcurl3, and 
libcurl-gnutls are all installed.

Running xaster now, the map chooser lists all the .MAP files in VA and 
NC, but choosing and applying one of them results in the following on 
the console:

The file worldhi.map no longer appears in the map chooser.

Thanks for the help!
