Now if Xastir could be made to download the OSM maps while using them

It's been mentioned on here several times. Do a Google search for:
Cloudmade OSM Shapefiles
Then go to that site and drill down to the country and state.
Download just the file that has "shapefile" in the title. Expand
that in your Xastir maps directory somewhere and then reindex your
maps. Vector OSM maps. Not anywhere near as pretty as the OSM
raster tiles, but functional.
You'll need the dbfawk files that are in CVS Xastir to render them
properly.
