"Auto maps" is a thing in Xastir that few people use anymore. It was a way of "automatically" choosing when to display them that was ultimately superceded by the layer and min/max zoom levels options in the map chooser properties.

Many thanks, Tom.
As I recall, "Auto Maps" never worked very well, which is why most people went to the more configurable method. I do recall that someone on the list had some trick where he used both auto maps and the manually configured layer and min/max zoom to acheive some specific use case but I can't for the life of me remember what that was.
In my local config, there was MAPS_AUTO_MAPS=1. I ignore why. This config has been used over several releases of Xastir, but the display of maps worked only for a short time. I was not able to find why. I had the suspicion that no maps could be loaded. Finally, I have started with an empty config dir and I have tried to find the differences. After some time, I have found this MAPS_AUTO_MAPS=1. After I had set it to zero, there was a map display available. This is the reason of my question.
I haven't turned auto maps on in at least 16 years.
Now, I have set it to zero, also.
