This worked nice. I think I like the Online Tiled Mapnik maps better, but these will be nice if I am ever offline.

Try this download (grab only the file with "shapefiles" in the filename), extract it somewhere in your /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/ directory (can be in subdirectory at any level below that), reindex your maps (Map->Configure menu), then try them in Xastir: http://downloads.cloudmade.com/north_america/united_states/florida#downloads _breadcrumbs Those are the on-disk vector-format maps for OpenStreetMaps. Should be fast in all cases and can be used mobile or while disconnected from the 'net. -- 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.
