Hi Tom,<br><br>Ha, that explains it. I'm (obviously) not on the xastir reflector, so thanks for the pointer. <br><br>While I haven't built xastir before, I'm not afraid of such things, so that's probably the best way forward. OSM is a great service, and I've been wondering about using it with xastir.<br><br>Thanks again for the reply,<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br>> Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2010 14:48:43 -0600<br>> From: russo@bogodyn.org<br>> To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>> Subject: Re: [aprssig] Tiger map problems (again)<br>> <br>> On Sun, Jun 27, 2010 at 01:41:47PM -0700, we recorded a bogon-computron collision of the <ko6th_greg@hotmail.com> flavor, containing:<br>> > <br>> > Hi folks,<br>> > <br>> > I've had this problem before, but the techniques to solve it aren't working this time... <br>> > <br>> > Tiger maps have disappeared.
