Let me ask my my USGS Staet Mapping contact and get back to you on this.

I downloaded the most recent GNIS Data from the USGS (http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/index.html) earlier this week and was disappointed to remember that the new data does not contain as much info as the old data. The biggest thing that I noticed missing was the Estimated Population. Without that, it's hard for mapping data to differentiate between large cities and small cities, so it's basically an all or nothing display. Has anyone done any research to see if the data is available from another source that would provide Xastir with the information that it needs? One thing that may be nice to have is the FIPS data (http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/fips55codedef.html), with the classification information there, we could turn on/off features based on type.
