As a Newbie, it is my understanding that; one of the reasons that "Xastir" is useful and necessary for plotting APRS is that it can access locally stored maps (that were download while online) making them viewable while offline.
The problem (as I see it) I do not know "how to know" which maps (and at what "zoom level") I have downloaded until it is too late and offline :-( What I get is a big RED area for missing map sections. Note, as a Newbie, I may be using Xastir wrong or lack understanding, and maybe there is already a solution to this - if so, please help. I have tried to zoom and pan to as many location that I think I may "need" while offline, but inevitable I have found that I missed many maps sections at a different zoom level that I could use. Is there a way to shade missing map sections for one (or two) higher zoom levels above the current displayed level? If so, I could easily ensure that I have down loaded the maps that I plan to use while offline.
