It's coming back next year:

They may want beta testers in a few months.

I removed tigermap.geo and its entries in Makefile.am.  Do this:

*) Update from CVS.

*) "./bootstrap.sh; ./configure; make; sudo make install"

*) "chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/xastir" (optional)

*) Manually remove "tigermap.geo" file from
   /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online/

*) Map->Configure->Index: Add New Maps (old or new Xastir, doesn't
   matter).

*) Kill/restart Xastir.

"tigermap.geo" should be gone permanently.

Oh really?? I followed that and I am running 1.9.9 now.. I will go
look at the OSM stuff! That's the howto I followed... I just read the
whole thing again and it doesn't mention OSM. I will go read the

Re: [Xastir] Ububtu 10.04 Tigermaps issues

Hi John,

If I'm reading your cry for help correctly and if you're trying to get 
the online Tigermaps working - don't bother. They're gone for good. You 
can find lots of info as to why and what's happend in the reflector 
archives (link at the bottom of this message).


Instead, we now have OpenStreetMaps support - but not in a released 
version yet. You'll have to do a compile from source (CVS) to get the 
new OSM support.


(Hey guys, maybe we aught make an announcement box on the wiki or 
something? This is come'n up a lot.)


Now, if I've mis-read your question, nevermind - try again and a real 
"guru" will jump in here.
