Those files were removed from the Xastir distribution some time back, and
are no longer installed by the install process.

By design, the build/install process does not remove anything from your maps 
directory that it doesn't know about -- for all it knows, you put it there 
yourself and would be furious to have it removed automatically.  When 
Canada* and US_NWS_Radar* were removed from the source distribution, your 
stale copies of those files became something in your maps directory it 
doesn't know about, and that it won't delete.

This is always the case with scripts and map files that Xastir installs.  When
we remove the source and tell the build system to stop installing them, the
build system has no way of distinguishing these now-useless old copies from
other files in the maps/scripts directory that you put there yourself.

If you know before you do a source update that an update is going to remove
files that used to get installed, you can avoid this sort of thing by 
doing a "make uninstall" *before* updating from git, then update the code
and do a reinstall.  The make uninstall will remove everything that it had 
installed before, and after the git update, the new install won't reinstall 
the deleted files.

But once you've downloaded the new code from git this stops being an option.
Your only choice now is to remove the files that are no longer installed by
the build process.

You should remove those old geos.  They are worthless, because the servers 
they used to point to went off line permanently.
