"Should" being the operative word. I think it's going out to check for more recent tiles if they're on the server but it does do a download and then pulls from cache (the status bar says "Downloading tiles..." for a while). It mostly hangs on that downloading step and then moves on as soon as it's done. It's a little disappointing because I can't have the radar images going with the OSM otherwise my windows are going to hang on every refresh. I'm living without the radar for now. Assuming I have a spare tuit available somewhere (round or square, maybe even triangular) I might have to dig and see if I can prevent the download ahead of time for any tiles that exist. > > Glad you figured out the problem! > > -- Curt, WE7U. http://www.eskimo.com/~archer > APRS in Search and Rescue: http://wetnet.net/~we7u/search_and_rescue.html > _______________________________________________ > Xastir mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir > _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
