Jerry, thank you very much for the contribution to Xastir.  I finally got my
update working.  I was using the straight CVS howto and was striking out on
compiling.  It dawned on me after dinner to go to the Ubuntu 10.04
directions and run with them since I am using 10.04.  I got it to work on
the first hit.

I have loosely followed the discussion about using OSM.  Is there a way to
save desired areas locally like there is with Tiger maps?  I have the 2008
and 2009 for my county and the surrounding.  The OSM maps would be awesome.

Give the crowd a new feature and they will want more.  :D.

Thanks again.
