[Xastir] getting maps to draw, my experience

[Rob Neece]

Steve,

This trick didn't produce any different results, but it did help me to 
see that the maps stored on my computer are displaying, and when they 
overlay, it makes a mess. So a little light bulb went on. A short term 
solution for me would be to get a decent map for my area and store it on 
my computer.

Thanks,
Rob
