Andrew,
While you were out, we set up such a server for ftp access at
aprs.tamu.edu, also known as first.aprs.net. I provide US radar imagery
via web services at mesonet.tamu.edu: Look at the radar WMS .geo for
more detail.
I can host maps here, or you can, or we both can, but these things have
been discussed a bit in the past.
gerry

What would be cool is a map repositry
people add maps as they go, i have a server they could use.
then a script grabs .geo 's once a day
or - a script just adds and downloads new maps

I have a web server
with maps and .geo files
what do I do to xastir to make it pick up and use those maps ?
i am going to have to change the .geo 's to "url" instead of "file" i am

Hmmm. I think you'd have to snag down the .geo's locally, change
the filenames inside them to URL's, index them, then let Xastir do
the rest.
Unless you want to change the code...
The only bit of code that requests a remote .GEO file right now is
the Toporama code, which gets a .GEO file from a findu.com server
first, then uses that .GEO to go fetch a temporary image that the
findu.com server creates on-the-fly when you request the .GEO. You
could copy that code to create something new which would use your
server (and others).
