OK, those are good reasons to use it that way, even being able to turn
it on and off. How would I give this a try, how do I build a GNIS
file? Or is there someplace online that tells me that?

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.
