[Xastir] Using GeoPDF maps experience

[ZPO]

Answered my own question..

All the files are zipped. Once unzipped they will have names of the form
"OR_Arlington_20140731_TM_geo.pdf".

Now to let it work through a download of a few states.

Society is, always has been, and always will be a structure for the
exploitation and oppression of the majority through systems of political
force dictated by an elite, enforced by thugs, uniformed or not, and upheld
by a willful ignorance and stupidity on the part of the very majority whom
the system oppresses.
