[Xastir] Fwd: (UI-View & OSM)

[Jason KG4WSV]

I know this is sacrilege, mentioning a windows app here, but this tool
appears to generate OSM bitmaps for offline use.  Offline is pretty
important to me, thought I'd throw it out in case anyone else finds it
useful.

disclaimer: I haven't used this software, YMMV. I probably hate
windows worse than you do.
