OK, one step forward.
After a bit of mucking around I can now see the worldhi.map in the map
properties dialogue box, but no other maps. Path shaunmaps/worldhi.map
I put in the figures you suggested and now the world map has disappeared.
I think I may need to tell xastir to look for .inf maps instead of .map
maps
Regards,
Shaun Pitcher

Shaun,
you need to make the maps available in Map/Map Chooser/Properties.
Highlight your Directory (shaunmaps) in Map/Map Chooser and, in
properties set up some options. For the 1:250000 I use
Max Zoom 800
Min Zoom 75
Map Layer 750 ( I have other maps with higher and lower numbers)
Fill Auto
USCG DRG No
Auto Map Yes
You need to load new maps in Map/Configure/Index: Add New Maps
That should be about it, except to make sure the zoom level (right
click/Zoom level//Custom Zoom Level) is set within the range of the map
as specified above in properties.
If I've forgotten anything, you can remind me :-)
