[Xastir-dev] double free or corruption
Xastir is blowing up on me now when I try to use the terraserver aerial images, BW or color, and zoom in or pan. Getting this in the Xterm: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x089b49f0 *** So it looks like we're trying to do too many free's? This is a recent occurrence, like just within the last day or two, so probably a result of some of the changes that just went in. I'd like to do a devel snapshot today, but will put that off until this bug is fixed.

Re: [Xastir] Garmin Rino being dropped?
GPS trackers don't need a mapping GPS. They can use one and the user can see where they are or they can use a GPS dongle (raw GPS receiver that spits out NMEA sentences to a serial port cable) and the user is clueless. The idea of trackers being digi's gets rid of the alligator syndrome and tries to set up a mesh system to relay messages back from field operators to a central command post. Plus the trackers that do this are quite smaller and more power efficient than say a MFJ-1270. my $0.02 worth. 73 from 807, Richard, N6NKO Jim Tolbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, all...

They are completely different, and you need both for good maps with all the features. Polyines are linear features like roads, streams, etc. Polygons are area features like parks, reservations, military bases, lakes, reservoirs, etc. It is a limitation of the shapefile format that a single file can contain only one type of object (point, line, area), so for data that has lots of different types one requires lots of different files. This question has been asked so many times that it's a FAQ that needs to get answered in README.MAPS. It isn't. I'll go put it there now, and on the Wikified version. What file or files do I edit to start customizing colors, line widths, etc? This is done in the dbfawk file associated with the data. This is sorta answered in README.MAPS, but not explicitly. There are two ways to associate a DBFAWK file with a shapefile: signature-based, or per-file based. signature-based looks at the list of attributes in the dbf file and tries to apply a one-size-fits-all set of rules to all files that match the signature. These dbfawk files all live in /usr/local/share/xastir/config, and have somewhat descriptive names. The two that are used for the TIGER/Line data are tgr2shp.dbfawk and tgr2shppoly_2006.dbfawk. The first is for the polyline data, the second is for the polygon data. The second way to do this is per-file, so that each individual file can be treated differently. These files all live in the same directory as the shapefile, and have base names that are the same as the shapefile to which they apply, but with the .dbfawk suffix instead of .shp or .dbf A per-file dbfawk file overrides any signature-based file that matches, and applies only to the file whose name it matches. So if you want to experiment on one county you can copy the global default file (tgr2shp or tgr2shppoly_2006, depending on what you want to change) into a per-file dbfawk file that matches that county's name and lives in the same directory as the county shapefile, and then when you're done you could move it to /usr/local/share/xastir/config and it would become a signature-based file. But be careful, because re-installing xastir will re-install the default tgr2shp and tgr2shppoly_2006 files. You'll have to preserve your changes somehow so they don't constantly get overwritten when you upgrade xastir. -- Tom RussoKM5VY 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?

The Tracker2 in a steel case: He has a few hand-assembled units which are mostly spoken for, and should have more available soon. Both of these can function as WIDEn-N digipeaters, and pre-emptive digipeaters, as well as trackers and KISS TNC's. There's also the Byonics TinyTrak4 which is still in development.

It's not as good at decode as the T2, but it's better than nothing. Byon has some new TinyTrack stuff (the TT4 sounds comparable to the OT +, IIRC), but I don't know much about them. Byon's stuff is all closed source. Scott's OpenTracker series is open source, so Scott gets my money. For SAR GPS tracking, on each field searcher, we would still need a radio, a tracker, and a mapping GPS. Is that correct? That depends on your needs. If all you need is for someone at the ICP to know where the teams are, you can get by with a dumb tracker (radio/tracker/GPS engine). If you want the teams to know where the other teams and other resources are, they'll need decode and mapping capability (D7 or Tracker 2 and mapping GPS).

Thanks for all the replies so far guys. I'd be lieing if I pretended to actually understand this whole mapping thing lol, but like anything else I just need to dig my heels into it. I have some MapInfo map data as well that I may try playing with, I'll report my results back on both when I get a chance. One question to the dev's. Is it possible to integrate google maps into Xastir? The only two pitfalls I see with that are potential TOS violations, and the fact that the end user may need an API key, not sure how you could get the data either, maybe libcurl or something to that effect?

[Xastir] Re: [aprssig] XASTIR and black maps
Andrew I've had that happen a couple of times. It's usually the result of Z-ordering, i.e. the map layer setting in the map chooser. Or have you recently used 'dbfawk' to customize your maps? I would start with a simple shapefile map and see if it displays correctly. Keep the ordering at the same level for all maps to start with...I think '1000' is the default level. It's the 'Properties' button in the map chooser. Once you get that map to display correctly, then start adding additional maps and adjusting the layering as necessary. 73 de KE4QKT Mark Andrew Rich wrote: Sorry to post here, the XASTIR list is dead at the moment.

[Xastir] Weather Alert Symbol triggers.
Hey all. We're in a tornado watch until 2200 CST 20 August 2007. While I can see a box around the watch area if I zoom out enough, should I be seeing the tornado.xbm graphic overlaid on my map?

Re: [Xastir] Conversion of shape file coordinates
Lots of good info at http://www.swcp.com/~russo/shape_web/index.html#ogrproj If your shapefile sets come with .prj files, then the .prj file likely defines what the existing coordinate system is and ogr2ogr -f ESRI Shapefile -t_srs EPSG:4326 OutputDirectory InputShapefile.shp will get to where you need to be. -Lance Jim Tolbert wrote: I have a set of shape files in the local county coordinate system. I have all the equations to convert individual points to long lat, but I am unsure of how to approach a shape file. Arc view apparently happily reads and overlays shape files in the county coordinate system, in the Wisconsin state coordinate system and in Long Lat. Should Arc View be able to output specific layers in various coordinate systems? Can I somehow put the equations for conversion into Xastir? Any ideas?

[Xastir] Demo'ing Xastir
I'm hoping to demo Xastir at our local Hamfest in September - I thought about how to do it - the location of the hamfest is quite possibly the worst radio location in this area (worse than mine and that's saying something (for V/UHF) - so an RF feed maybe useless - I looked for an alternative.. I wondered about the log file - just replaying it back.. Having run an internet link at work for Xastir I have a 700meg log I can let run and should provide entertainment most of the day but if anything there is too much going on (even using my tnc.log from home) - I wonder if there is any way of slowing down the playback? I was using File - open log - then chose a log file to open. Any ideas?

Re: [Xastir] Weather Alert Symbol triggers.
Corby, The tornado.xbm will only display if there is a Tornado Warning present, plus there should be a yellow polygon around the warning area. A tornado watch should generate a red/black hash outline box around the watch area. 73 from 807, Richard, N6NKO Corby Krick wrote: Hey all. We're in a tornado watch until 2200 CST 20 August 2007.

On 8/19/07, Bernard Tyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Also, PHG circles - these are not valid for an APRS-IS connected station, right? What should be displayed? Nothing I presume. It should be shown by the symbol you choose? PHG can be valid for a station connected to the APRS-IS if they are also on RF. PHG describes an RF station coverage area. Finally, (sorry lots of questions) - is it better for the APRS network to have more stations connected via APRS-IS than via RF? I guess its better to have more of the same stations connected than lots of different (mobile, stationary, etc...). Define better. If you are out mobile in an RF only environment with everyone else on the APRS-IS only, how much information do you get? APRS is designed as a local information delivery system. As an APRS user, you should get information about your local area delivered to you on your display. Having local information available only on the internet doesn't do much for an RF only user. Define your idea of better, and then you can qualify your answer. APRS was conceived and designed by Bob Bruninga as an amateur radio information service. Steve Dimse added the internet connectivity portion, and changed the face of APRS forever. I lean towards the radio side of APRS, but rely heavily on the internet side for observation. If I had to only choose one side, the RF side would win. James VE6SRV ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
[Xastir] IGate into socal.aprs2.net?
Hi all, I was trying to IGate into socal.aprs2.net and it wasn't working. After investigating, I think the aprs2.net machines want Q codes to be included in the packets. Is this what is preventing my packets to be included in the aprs2.net info? Can Xastir IGate to these machines?

Re: [Xastir] IGate into socal.aprs2.net?
Did you enter in the passcode for connecting to the server? This code (numeric) is generated based on your callsign. There's a small program that generates it (I believe it's called callpass although someone may correct me). The tier2 servers run the same software as the tier1 servers do - there's not much of a difference when it comes to connecting to them.
