What would be the best option based on what I want?
I use TIGER data converted to shapefile format for street level (specifically zoom levels below 128), National Atlas data for zoom levels 128 and up, and a world shapefile in the rare instances I zoom that far out. On some systems I use DOQQ (sat photo) and GNIS data at very close zoom levels (12 or less).
Depending on what part of the country you're in and how uptight you are about precision the TIGER data may not suit your needs. It works for me.
Also, is there a good tutorial or reference that explains all these different types of maps available?
Not really. There are lists of several different sources of maps, and the old web site had examples of many of them. Not sure if this has made it to the new web site yet.
Ah, here's the page I looked at to get ideas of what I wanted: http://wetnet.net/~we7u/xastir/SAR.html -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
