Saw this over on the TAPR list. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:47:50 +1100 From: Ray Wells <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: TAPR APRS Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [aprssig] Shapefile Problem
In the last few days weather warnings have been made available for aprs in Australia. Those of us running xastir have encountered a common problem in that the warning area is not defined and coloured (filled) on the display. The object icon is displayed. If auto-fill is enabled in Map Properties the entire map is grey, with black county outlines. Many of us have been attempting various configuration options to overcome this issue and we'd appreciate any guidance from those more experienced with shapefiles. I have the various files - shp, prj, shx and dbf files in maps/Counties. At least some others have an identical directory structure. What we are seeing are the shire (county) outlines and the shire names. We have loosely touched on the possibility of the Australian data being in an incompatible format.
