I removed Xastir completely. Both by telling my package manager to removeit, and then by manually going to all of the directory locations ~/... and user share…. and manually deleting all of the files. I them re-installed it by having the package manager re-install. I then went to the web and looked up every version of a .map file I could find, and installed them in the user/share/xaster/map directory.
I havelots of vector line drawigs, but no raster maps. They are sucky for quality, but at least they work. I have no Raster maps. I would love to get some and I have looked at some on line, but I am having troubole getting the descriptor files to go with them the ones with the upper left/north west and lower right/ south east longetude and lattitude data as well as the pixel count. So for now It works but it sucks. I have not given up. eventually I will get it to work right in spite of the lack of support fom the community rather than because of it. Thanks for asking. 73 KB3IYQ Michael Gregory michael.greg...@verizon.net On 2013-10-21, at 5:06 PM, "Curt, WE7U" <curt.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, 18 Oct 2013, Michael Gregory wrote: > >> I just set up linux mint 15 and downloaded Xastir 2.0.
