Ok, so this is odd... All was fine, then I exited Xastir and restarted it. Maps are gone again, and needed to be re-indexed again. So, something's still a little rotten. I tried flushing all maps and reloading, quit, restart, gone again.<br><br>Ideas?<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ko6th_greg@hotmail.com<br>To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:47:36 -0800<br>Subject: Re: [aprssig] What happened to Tiger maps?<br><br>

Hi Curt, all,<br><br>I should have been clearer, the computer didn't crash, just the program. So, a file system-level corruption wasn't going to be the problem. (This system's been really reliable - until we had an extended power outage due to the recent "Highway 49 fire", it had been up for 599 days...)<br><br>But, the re-indexing of all maps did it! I had tried the reload of the maps earlier, but to no avail. After the re-index, I had to go back into the map chooser, re-select the map, and then turn on the auto-maps. Now all is well.<br><br>Thanks for the help!<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br>> Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:48:00 -0800<br>> From: archer@eskimo.com<br>> To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>> Subject: Re: [aprssig] What happened to Tiger maps?<br>> <br>> On Thu, 19 Nov 2009, Greg D. wrote:<br>> <br>> > Did something happen to the online Tiger maps recently?
