Description: Application to generates accurate images of portions of the Earth.
 Xrmap is an GPL'd user-friendly X program which can be used to generate
 accurate images of small or bigger portions of the Earth. The main data source
 is the CIA World Data Bank II, a huge geodata set available from
   ftp://sepftp.stanford.edu/pub/World_Map/
   ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/graphics/data/cia-wdb and
   http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/data/WDB/ The data were produced by the US
 government during the 1980s.
 .
 The CIA_WDB2 consists of vector descriptions of coastlines and islands,
 political boundaries, major and minor rivers, glaciers, lakes, canals, reefs,
 etc. The accuracy of the data is at best 1" of arc, approximately 30 meters at
 the Equator -- in fact all recorded points are given by integer coordinates
 representing seconds of arc.
 .
 In practice, the images produced by Xrmap have a resolution of about 0.5 km in
 most parts of the Earth, and therefore they can be accurately zoomed in, up to
 a factor of 100 or more. The Xrmap package also exploits a rather
 comprehensive data set of world cities and locations - about 20000 cities are 
 listed.
 .
 When clicking on a city, related data appear in a popup window -- such as
 local time, administrative region, national and regional flags, etc.
