[aprssig] Mac Lion APRS iGate software?

[Larry LaBranche]

I downloaded a binary of xastir from one of the listed links. I have a i7 iMac using Lion. I have have to walk away after any zooming, or movement of a few I tried, detailed maps. Looking at the cpu monitor, it is less then 1% of usage. I disabled all maps because of this. I did figure out how to do igating, just have to figure out my password, and connecting the radio. Looking through the docs, and email list, it only does fill in digi.

Talked with PocketPacket folks, about making some igate/digi Mac software, and it is in their long range plans.
