I'm not sure what a GNIS file looks like. But what I have works great, I just turned off Transmit Objects/items. What would be the advantage to using a GNIS file format?
Then it's a local map, so there's no possibility of you transmitting them, and you can turn that particular map on and off with ease using the map chooser. You can also turn objects on/off at various zoom levels by telling Xastir the "population" of the object, at least with the old GNIS code. The new GNIS code, perhaps not as that field was eliminated in the newer GNIS map files. We used to use that field to key off of for displaying smaller and smaller cities as you zoomed the map in to a local area. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
