I've recently found Xastir (http://www.xastir.org/), a rather
nifty mapping package by/for the HAM radio community.  It can
display shapefile maps, terraserver (satellite photo) maps,
tiger maps, and with some recent patches to the code and some
map transformations, it can display sectionals
(http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA_sectionals/).  It can
also dynamically retrieve and display NWS weather radar as an
overlay to the maps.

I'm currently discussing with their developer group how
FlightGear NMEA output would be input into Xastir.  (Also
symbology and possible TCAS-like data).

Is there any interest in the fgfs community, or is Atlas
sufficient?
