My use case: At a public service event, displaying one JPEG .geo map (sourced from a scanned handout from race officials, unknown projection) over a sea of OSM maps.
Yes, I do that as well, a detailed race map (raster) on top of a background of other raster maps.
It would be nice if projection was a configuration option, although I would guess a lot of code modification would be required to slip this in, and could be prone to bugs if something was missed.
It would require changes to quite a lot of code. We've not thought down the road of changing Xastir's projection to fit the map before. Tom has mentioned that the maps Xastir prints out are useless for compass navigation because of the projection. Just another data point. -- Curt, WE7U. <http://www.eskimo.com/~archer> APRS: Where it's at! <http://www.xastir.org> Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
