[Xastir] Format for .geo files

[RileyC]

Thanks!  Yes I've done that and converted a few.  When I point Xastir to my
Offline directory with the converted files, there are no maps.

The documentation reads like I need a type of index file.  I got the USGS
csv indexes that match coordinates to the image files.  I'm looking for the
needed formatting for that index file.  That's what I'm naively calling a
.geo file.

I can convert the USGS csv to the correct format, but I want to know what
that format is.

Thanks!

Riley
