[Xastir] Movable zoomanble maps

[Joseph LaFerla]

Hi Curt

Thanks for this.  I tried what you suggest and like it.  The only problem though is that my internet connection is not very fast and zooming and panning when using online maps is not very smooth as a result. I would prefer to use offline maps.  I downloaded Ontario-latest.osm.pbf but I imagine one needs to do further processing on that before using it because it does not show up in Map Chooser.  I will investigate a bit further using your suggested reading to see how I can implement offline mapping.

I'm using "Online/OSM_tiled_mapnik.geo" maps right now on mine, which are tiled bitmaps rather than vector maps. If you're running one of the later Xastir versions that should work for you also.
