Jerry, thank you very much for the contribution to Xastir. I finally got my update working. I was using the straight CVS howto and was striking out on compiling. It dawned on me after dinner to go to the Ubuntu 10.04 directions and run with them since I am using 10.04. I got it to work on the first hit. I have loosely followed the discussion about using OSM. Is there a way to save desired areas locally like there is with Tiger maps? I have the 2008 and 2009 for my county and the surrounding. The OSM maps would be awesome. Give the crowd a new feature and they will want more. :D. Thanks again. -- 73 Guy Story KC5GOI kc5...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
