Not really. I don't really know what you would classify the contents of the file as. The .geo files are genuine .geo files, and other files which contain data in a well-known format should use the well-known extension. Since this is a Unix-like system there's no need for extensions anyway, or you could use the catch-all ".dat". Either way, I encourage you to drop the 's' as OSM itself is not plural. (Pedantic programmer is pedantic). Since these are still early days, have you considered how to get the other rendered tiles (assuming they are available)? For example (for those who've never played with OSM) you can click on a plus symbol (+) at the upper right hand side of the map at the OSM site (www.osm.org) and switch to different rendered views of the data. The default at OSM is Mapnik. The tiles we are viewing in Xastir seem to be Osmarender. The third one you can see is CycleMap, which includes (approximate) topo lines. If we have generic WMS support we should be able to specify any WMS server and it should Just Work. 73, A _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
