[Xastir] Maps

[Joseph LaFerla]

Hi Steve

Thanks for this.  Actually I have already made those changes to /usr/local/share and the two maps DO appear in the Map Chooser but when I select either of them all I get is a grey background screen.  All the stations are there, just not the map.  Other than worldhi.map, I have two other maps in Map Chooser, geogratis.gc.ca and nationalmap.gov, but neither of them give me any map.

Your maps are in a binary folder, you need to change this:


Then you need to edit your ~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf file to change all occurances of "/usr/share" to "/usr/local/share"


Using nano edit auto map directories and the other maps files from /usr/share to /usr/local/share

Be careful to edit just the map directories and you should have your online maps again.

Hi

With the help of many yesterday I was able to install xastir from source and get it to work – with one exception.  I forgot to save any maps from my previous binary version. Now although xastir works fine, I have no map displayed.  The map chooser shows geogratis.gc.ca and nationalmap.gov but selecting either of these makes no difference.  In my binary version, the default install gave me a couple of tiled *.fosm maps which worked fine.   Selecting the worldhi.map does work but does not provide a very nice map.  What do I need to do to get a map working?

Thanks.
