wouldn't that be neat.
However, I think the OSM people would be thrilled to have xastir use
their service.
+1 for OSM support in Xastir.
+1 from me as well.
It's not that far away, you can download their stuff and show it
already, but a proper dbfawk file is missing, though.
So it doesn't display really nice.
But it rocks when zooming in and out!
So count my +1 for getting a decent dbfawk that can be understood by
mere mortals...
OSM was shunned some time back, when people claimed it wouldn't be
correct and would show an offset to GPS.
I don#t see it - at least for my home town:

Thank you for your inquiry. We have discontinued
the
Tiger Mapping Service as it has become outdated.
So, lots of people relied on a legacy service and got
bitten. It shows
how valuable open data sources can be. Choose
your next source based on
how open it is, and what license it carries.
We should seriously look at OSM (www.osm.org) as a backend
map source for
Xastir.
I have mentioned it a couple of times here, and it
surprises me that
no-one seems to be in the least bit interested.
How about it?
The TIGER data is open for the US which is probably why OSM
doesn't get
much traction. Only the online delivery system was discontinued.
Xastir
can read the shapefiles directly, they just have to be downloaded
and stored
locally rather than generated on the fly from an online map
generator.
