Unfortunately I can't on the mailing list, as it strips attachments. You can do all kinds of things with Shapefiles though. I use them often to put vector data on top of rasters, like this: http://wetnet.net/~we7u/xastir-shapefile-example.png That's a base layer of "OSM_tiled_mapnik.geo" with "s_24ja01.shp" on top of that (U.S. State outlines) and of course NWS weather alerts on top of that. If you're just using vector maps with no raster underneath it looks much more plain: http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-128.png http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-64.png http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-32.png http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-16.png http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-8.png http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-4.png http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-2.png http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-1.png Those are the Tiger-2008 King County, WA, Shapefiles, with all layers turned on, at different zoom levels. I usually turn off most levels if using Shapefiles for driving/navigating. Below is the same with only these levels turned on: tl_2008_53033_arealm.shp tl_2008_53033_areawater.shp tl_2008_53033_edges.shp tl_2008_53033_pointlm.shp tl_2008_53033_tabblock.shp http://wetnet.net/~we7u/king-4-minimal.png I chose the Tiger Shapefiles just 'cuz that's what I had on this machine. I'll can use pretty much any Shapefile out there. -- Curt, WE7U http://wetnet.net/~we7u http://www.sarguydigital.com _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
