Thanks! Yes I've done that and converted a few. When I point Xastir to my Offline directory with the converted files, there are no maps.
The documentation reads like I need a type of index file. I got the USGS csv indexes that match coordinates to the image files. I'm looking for the needed formatting for that index file. That's what I'm naively calling a .geo file. I can convert the USGS csv to the correct format, but I want to know what that format is. Thanks!
