Thanks Lynn.  Fyi, Xastir is already using that one.  It's one of 3 OSM
URL's that are still functioning.

I went through the map chooser, and here are the results:

Geo files that do NOT work that should be deleted:

Online/OSM_cloudmade_1.geo
Online/OSM_cloudmade_2.geo
Online/OSM_cloudmade_3.geo
Online/OSM_cloudmade_998.geo
Online/OSM_tiled_osmarender.geo
Online/OSM_tiled_skiiing.go
Online/OSM_tiled_topOSM_0_relief.geo
Online/OSM_tiled_topOSM_1_contour.geo
Online/OSM_tiled_topOSM_2_features.geo
Online/TXRadar.geo
Online/USRadar.geo
Online/WMSRadar.go
Online/terraserver.geo
Online/terraserver-topo.geo
Online/terraserver-reflectivity.geo

Geo Files that still work and should be retained:

Online/OSM_tiled_cycle.geo
Online/OSM_tiled_fosm.geo
Online/OSM_tiled_mapnik.geo

Geo files that I did not look at due to not being in Canada and not feeling
like changing my coordinates to put my station in Canada:
Online/CanadaTopo250k.geo
Online/CanadaTopo50k.geo

I modified one of the non-functional OSM geo files to point to the mapquest
street map tiles, and it works fine. So I guess I've got the first instance
of Xastir running with online mapquest tiles.
