I got my maps working yesterday evening.  There was not much of a learning
curve for me on this one since WinAPRS uses the same format with the
exception of the image size field and that was easy.  I am currently having
tie point accuracy issues but I can get that taken care of.  My maps are not
lining up to the Tiger maps, sometimes off by close to a half mile and
distorted image.

Which Tiger maps?  The online ones?  Be aware they use an odd
projection (sine) so they are more accurate at the middle of the
image as far as Xastir is concerned than the edges.

If you're talking about Tiger Shapefile downloaded maps, it's
possible you're dealing with a datum difference between the two
types of maps.
