http://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:DBFAWK I looked at the geofabrik.de files a bit for WA. There don't appear to be land-mass layer or lake layers, but otherwise they look good. I have roads and water layers displaying already but the dbfawk's could use more work. Will see if I can get the initial

With regards to this latest digest note from Curt, is there a wiki entry somewhere dealing with making / modifying dbfawk files? I still have my Tigerline maps from 200x vintage for all 254 counties in Texas. I recall having to make a few changes some time ago, but I've slept since then. ;-)

Here's one place it appears you can get OSM Shapefile extracts: http://download.geofabrik.de/ Again, you most likely will have to create dbfawk files to go with them. It's not terribly difficult. On Thu, Jul 14, 2016 at 1:19 PM, Curt Mills wrote: > I'm currently using online maps: "Online

I'm currently using online maps: "Online/OSM_tiled_mapnik.geo" You may have to hunt for an OSM extract in Shapefile format. I used to use the "cloudmade" extracts and still have the ones for WA on this computer I think. You should be able to get quite a few different ones that use ESRI Shapefile
