<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt;">I don't know Xastir, so I don't know for certain if this advice will be helpful. However, I am an EC in ARES for my town. I was able to get in touch with the GIS professional for my town and through him I was able to get shape files (filled with vector data) of the town. Related to this, in my last job, I was handling the creation of maps for our software and I frequently was in touch with town, county, and university personnel to get map (vector and raster) data. In each case, I requested shape files, because it was compatible with the software we were using. The shape files do not require an internet connection. Just disk space and a program that will read them.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt;">If your program doesn't use shape files, you may be able to use an editor that will convert the shape file into a jpeg (or gif/bmp/ stc), and that can attach a lat/lon to different points on the map. This is a good technique to use for inserting a overhead/aerial photograph into your map display. I found a base aerial photograph with map data layered on top of the photo is very exciting.<br clear="none"></span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:10pt;">I hope this helps.</span></div>
