[Xastir] PNG,GIF,TIFF,or JPEG images as maps

[LA5PPA]

Hi, not an expert on this but I have a lot of UIView maps that I 
converted over to Xastir format.
If you follow this link you can see how Norway in 5 sections looks like. 
I use GIF files because I do not need all the "billions" of color  :-)
Norway is maybe not what you want but it gives you an idea
