[Xastir] Intro and question

[David]

Hi Liz,

Yes! I was hoping there might be a knowledgeable VK out there somewhere.

I had a look at geoscience, but couldn't really work out which files I 
needed as the instructions on xastir.org seem a little out of date. 
Reading the archives, it seems that caching OSM tiles is challenging and 
a good static map would be better if I can get it working.

If you are able to help me on the steps needed, that would be much 
appreciated.
