Re: [Xastir] NWS maps and geo files
Richard, When I manually fetch the files, each download succeeds: 78 [scott /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online]$ fetch http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/RadarImg/N0R/JGX_N0R_0.gif JGX_N0R_0.gif 100% of 27 kB 1548 kBps 79 [scott /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online]$ fetch http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge/RadarImg/N0R/JGX_N0R_0.gif JGX_N0R_0.gif 100% of 28 kB 242 kBps I'm not seeing xastir fetch the file or display the gif already downloaded.

Re: [Xastir] NWS maps and geo files
I have a somewhat related question that I have not been able to find the answer to to date... I have similar .geo files for the NWS radar images that I received from another ham quite some time ago... I would like to add another radar, have the URL, but not sure how to identify the tie points... Any idea where to get that data? -Joe KA3NAM Richard Polivka, N6NKO wrote: Scott, You may be looking at the wrong file on the server.
