I added these files to Git this week:
USTigermap.geo
USTigermapBorders.geo
Remember the Tigermap server we used to have? This is the new equivalent.
They are useful for U.S.-based mapping and come from U.S. Census Bureau's data.
I made the background of the 2nd one transparent so it will overlay the first
and give you county/state borders. Since they come from two different servers I
couldn't get borders on the first one alone. These should work great with
map-caching as well.
They'll install into /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online/
I'm in the middle of removing the code for the old Tigermap server (now
defunct) and for Tiger/Line files (they switched to ESRI Shapefile format now).
Unfortunately Tiger/Line and SDTS are both in the GDAL section of code and I
can't get SDTS files to work anymore. Once I sort that out I'll commit those
changes and Xastir will be a bit leaner.
