Only select one at a time. I have settled on Online/OSM_mapnik.geo as my personal favorite. Each choice is a different 'style". Jerry Dunmire posted the following info below. I hope things get working for you. I ran through the HowTo twice - once with the KDE version of Sidux 2010-01 and then with the Xfce version. There was another person on the list who went through the HowTo for Sidux 2010-01 and ended up with Xastir crashing. I haven't been able to duplicate that problem, either. Both of the Sidux installations were done under VirtualBox in Windows - in theory that shouldn't affect maps. My Linux box currently dual-boots PCLinuxOS 2010 and Mepis 8.5 - don't want to put another distro on it now.

The best starting point to identify each of the 'styles' is this URL: http://ojw.dev.openstreetmap.org/StaticMap/?lat=37.3136451416&lon=-121.874084472&z=11&mode=Style&; The .osm files force Xastir to use binned scaling levels that match the 18 fixed levels from the OSM. This eliminates scaling of the bit mapped images, leading to clean images without aliasing artifacts (jagged lines, blurring, dropped pixels, etc.) Other than their effect on scaling the .osm files are identical to the .geo files of the same name. I am looking at some alternatives for selecting zoom levels, that if acceptable, will eliminate the .osm files. ---- snip ---- 73, ...jerry KA6HLD _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
