[Xastir] Tiger maps?

[terrylj2 at embarqmail.com]

Thanks Lee. Your info worked just fine and 199 is up and running. I only found that xastir was installed in /usr/local/share but upon execution it looked in /usr/share and I had to invoke the -c argument to direct it properly load the program.

I'm not running the newest linux Mint right now I was going to go out 
and try last night but just remembered I need a serial Y cable.. I asked 
on the  TinyTrak4 groups but no answer yet I take it I need a cable with 
1 female ends and 2 male? Everything is running fine just that when you 
zoom in closer no extra map data shows up.. I guess I can live with 
that.. I can also use google maps on my android phone to get it to 
work.. speaking of that, that was my biggest goal was to get the 
internet from my phone to update the weather on the laptop.
