Hello Joel,
It's also worth mentioning that you can't just "download and install the maps" with Xastir. Depending on the map type you want (tile, vector, etc), you need to download the raw files, process them for your desired area, etc. What I personally use is OSM (OpenStreetMaps) which is an online tile service (maps broken down into sequences of little squares). I then jump to my desired map area while Xastir is connected to the internet to get all the zooms I want. While doing this, Xastir automatically caches the downloaded tiles and will use the cached tiles vs. download them from the Internet for the next viewing. At that point, Xastir can show your maps offline.
If you want something more flexible to support completely offline operation, search the archives here on how some people have created their own on-box tile servers for OSM or processed their own vector files.
