[Xastir] Script to cache some maps

[Kurt]

I'm with you on that one but I don't think anyone has done it. In the past, someone made I believe a 2008 version of OSM readable.  I wished I had the bandwidth then to download them all.Kurt KC9LDH

The only reason why I want a script is so I can have a computer do what I do by hand and have a reliable way to keep the maps.

Like I said I am not planning on causing any more server stress then I already do by simply downloading the maps at the certain zoom level I need on a small area where I am up and about using APRS.
