Sounds like you're asking about vector maps. Yes, Xastir can do quite a few types of map formats. The main problem we've had is that various sources of maps keep drying up. Our project keeps outlasting the maps sources.

See this URL:  http://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:MAPS

Or see the README.MAPS that should have come with your Xastir, either in xastir/README.MAPS or /usr/local/share/doc/xastir/README.MAPS
