Try the following command in a terminal:
rm ~/.xastir/config/selected_maps.sys
That will remove your map selection - I think the issue started after you
selected online maps. There is no harm in deleting that file - xastir will
create another one as soon as you select something in the map chooser.
Yes, I recognize your call sign - I've seen you on the map before :-)
