Thanks Turbo, I appreciate your frustration with those of us who don't
understand the map system.
I said "sparse" because the road networks and towns in my local flying area are
not all depicted and I was concerned that perhaps the data base being used was
parsed to limit the number or types of elements.

Hi Mike
what exactly do you mean by sparse?! We are using most of the data from the
openstreetmap.org project (cities and roads) and some from VMAP0. A XCM file is
basically a zip file which includes most of the data. Topology data is saved in
so-called Shapefiles and those are listed in the topology.tpl file. You should
have a look at those when you want to start importing other data too.
