If you are using a large display (lucky you) and large window for Xastir and then the area selected for a zoom is a high aspect ratio, you may get an OSM map that does not fill the display and is not aligned with the vector layers. The specific aspect ratio where the problem occurs depends on your window size. I expect the problem to occur both for short/wide areas and tall/narrow areas though the problem has only been demonstrated for tall/narrow area selections.
The problem is due to limits at the site where the OSM image is generated. That site limits the image to 2000 pixels in either direction. If more than 2000 pixels is requested, the value is truncated to a default value (different for X and Y). The work around is to avoid high aspect ratio selections. To recover after selecting a high aspect ratio, use the "Last Map Pos/Zoom" option on the mouse menu or resize your display window. The 'correct' fix for this problem will be to assemble the image from tiles. Since I expect tile support to take some time, I will put in some code to work around the problem. 73, ...jerry KA6HLD _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
