Sure, what you're showing is a Tigermap bug, not an Xastir bug.
Bummer. That makes it harder for us to fix ... :)
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.
That explains why I've never been able to figure it out. I need to do more experimenting/learning with the maps.
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.
This I'll need to learn. I do have a few local maps, but they are very old and very horrible (at least compared to tigermaps).
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.
Here's what the about box says I have: ImageMagick, libProj, GeoTiff, GDAL/OGR, ShapeLib, PCRE, Dbfawk, map_caching, profiling, rtree, LessTif. So I've got all the program parts (I think). I need the data parts and configuration know-how. I haven't read the help files cover- to-cover yet, so I guess I gotta go back there unless you've got a quick suggestion on where to start.
Of course I'm working nights the next five nights, so it's unlikely I'll look at it before next week ... :)
