IMO the gold standard for xastir maps is shapefile+dbfawk. dbfawk is something written by/for xastir, it exists nowhere else. So, the shortest path to updated maps is 1) go get the latest OSM to shapefile conversions (Geofabrik?), and 2) write / modify a dbfawk to match. and hopefully 3) share it with everyone else. Most likely, the best you could do with this or any other utility is a bunch of work that you could get for free, then resume the above path at step 2 (write your own dbfawk). -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
