[Xastir] Maps?

[Curt Mills]

I'm currently using online maps: "Online/OSM_tiled_mapnik.geo"

You may have to hunt for an OSM extract in Shapefile format. I used to use
the "cloudmade" extracts and still have the ones for WA on this computer I
think.

You should be able to get quite a few different ones that use ESRI
Shapefile format working in Xastir, including Tigermap Shapefile maps. We
made the Tigermap Shapefiles work a few years ago, and one of my buddies
has been asking about getting the latest ones working... It's not that much
work to get new ones integrated in. It's usually just writing some more
"dbfawk" files to go with them.
