Until you clear the cache, I believe. I'm not aware of any time-out. > Second -- is the size of the cache limited, other than room left on the > hard > drive? No. > Third -- is there more than one flavor of Tiger maps? You can configure how the on-line tiger maps are chosen (i.e. with different types of features enabled). Other than that, there's only on-line Tiger maps and local shapefile Tiger maps --- they're both from the same data, but the on-line ones are rendered at the Census web server and downloaded as a raster, and the local shapefiles are rendered by Xastir as vector data. -- Tom Russo KM5VY 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?
