I am sure this has been covered but I do not see it in the wiki right now. I have follow the wiki on getting 1.9.9 installed on Ubuntu 10.04 and it ran like a charm. I want to be able to take a course map that has been created as a jpeg, or gif and turn that into a map I can use in Xastir. I do this in WinAPRS all the time but I am trying to get way from WinAPRS since it has not been updated in a long time and Xastir is ongoing. WinAPRS uses a GIF as the image and I have to create points to tie the image so it can place stations on that map. Can someone walk me through that for Xastir?
README.MAPS, the section titled: ".geo files/online maps & graphics:" has a bit of info. Look in your Xastir directories for this file. Also Xastir->Help->Help Index->Map files and WX Counties has more info about GEO file contents. We also have some scripts for converting from UI-View and OziExplorer files to Xastir .geo files. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
