Ah, that's disappointing. I hadn't noticed that. I don't want to uglify my map, so I'll have to choose a different format to allow Xastir to display it. Any suggestions? I thought GeoTIFF was the best practice ad-hoc raster map format for Xastir. > As for why it isn't showing in the chooser, is the file in fact readable by > the UID under which Xastir is running?

This seems to be the most common solution for any problem in the list archives. Here's what I had: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5610136 May 16 15:53 ElbeHills.tif ...and a chown to my user has solved it! It is now indexed. Why did the ownership matter if it was already world readable? > BTW, I'm here in Fort Collins for graduation weekend, though my APRS rig is > currently off.
