Sure, what you're showing is a Tigermap bug, not an Xastir bug. When we go out to get an internet-based map, we're asking the server on the other end to render the map into some raster image, then we transfer that image to our disk and use ImageMagick (except in rare cases) to render it into our pixmap, at which point Xastir takes over and draws other stuff on top of it. In other words, we have very little say in how the remote server does that drawing. We just show what we get. dbfawk file have nothing to do with internet-based maps by the way, only local Shapefile maps, so you're barking up the wrong tree there. If you want to see the island the way it is supposed to be seen, and all the time, then you'll either need to switch to a different internet map server, or use local maps. I choose to use Shapefile conversions of the raw Tiger/Line data from the tamu.edu site. Our Shapefile code in Xastir does a pretty good job for the most part. You'll need Shapelib compiled into Xastir for this to work. It's nice to have dbfawk support as well so that they draw nicely, but it's not required. You need Shapelib anyway (plus the NWS maps) for weather alerts to work. -- Curt, WE7U.
