We do make the data a little thinner by skipping some points in the
polylines, but that usually only leads to sharp corners and stuff like
that but shouldn't remove entire streets...

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 <http://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.
