[aprssig] Xastir on OS X

[Greg D.]

I'm not an expert at xastir either, but the next step is to configure the 
maps.  Browse around under the map chooser for something that works for your 
area; they're all on-line and some take a bit of time to download, so be 
patient.  With the default zoom, none seem to show any detail.  I run my 
zoom at 1024 or less usually.

About the only thing I don't care for with xastir is that the map system is 
slow for loading, panning, zooming, etc, but there are a lot to choose from. 
  You also seem to need to be on-line whenever you change anything, because 
it runs off to download things again.  There's probably a way to load things 
ahead of time, but since we have a dsl-like service I haven't bothered to 
figure out how.

Good luck,

Greg  KO6TH

After copying libpng.3.dylib from somewhere else to the proper  location my 
macports install worked out nicely, if

that's http://www.easy2design.de/stuff/ZZ140863D6.png

how it's supposed to look like with no configuration apart from  callsign 
and icon? :)

Never actually used xastir, so don't know yet what i should do next *g*
