[Xastir] Offline Maps update?

[Kurt]

Ok,

  Tiger 2006 maps have gone away.  I still have a copy of few of them around.

Cloudmade version of the shapefiles not longer can be had.

What's a body to do along with this link on the Wiki?  ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/

Just unzip all the files helter-skelter and move them into /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/tiger2009?

I've downloaded a couple of states but wonder how to proceed from there.  There are a pile of files
that are listed below the county folders.  Are these important? (listing below)

What I'm looking for is a data set that's comparable to the old Cloudmade shapefile maps.
Is it possible?  Yeah, I know one cannot cache and display OSM maps directly in Xastir.
So be it, but what about some alternative offline strategies?  

Oh,  I built a new install of Xastir-2.0.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 and I got support in for everything
that's displayed at the ./configure summary including map caching.  Kurt KC9LDH
