Nothin' but net... That's the reason for what you're seeing. Terraserver is puking on the request for such a large image, and instead of refusing to return it, returning only a piece of it. Whereupon Xastir assumes it got everything it asked for and stretches the image received to fit the region it is presumed to cover, making a horrific error. The only reason it is working at low zooms is that the images are small enough for terraserver to honor the request. I saw the same thing a year or so ago when I got a fancydoodle new monitor (HP 2335) that could display 1920x1200 and tried to use xastir at full screen. Ever since then I have had to stick to below 1280x1280 to keep it right. Once upon a time I thought about making xastir download the worldfile associated with the image it requests, which could fix the problem if done right (because it would have the proper georeferencing information for the image actually downloaded rather than making assumptions that the image received was actually the image requested), but never got anywhere on it (figuring out how they do their worldfile URLs took too long and I gave up). -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
