This worked nice. I think I like the Online Tiled Mapnik maps better, but
these will be nice if I am ever offline.

Try this download (grab only the file with "shapefiles" in the filename),
extract it somewhere in your /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/ directory (can be
in subdirectory at any level below that), reindex your maps (Map->Configure
menu), then try them in Xastir:

Those are the on-disk vector-format maps for OpenStreetMaps.  Should be fast
in all cases and can be used mobile or while disconnected from the 'net.
