No doubt dnf will do > something similar. Hmmm.... I don't know if dnf has anything like apt-cache, but I tried plain "dnf search openstreetmap" and got only 17 hits. This is encouraging. Many thanks! I've been mousing around like mad, and I still find an odd thing that I've always found before. OSM seems to be all about compiling data, rather than making actual maps, let alone using them. Also, btw, I still see no trace of anything like topographic data. That's a fine thing to do, and those who do it have a right to enthuse intensely; they're making discoveries and solving problems. However, what I'm really trying to do is make certain personal maps, to scale, marked with things I choose, whose spatial interrelations I want to study. For me, that study and what I can learn from it are the whole point. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree? Ought I rather to have yet another go at getting Wine a/o Crossover Office somehow to enable my GPSs and some commercial or USGS software to talk to each other? I'm beginning to doubt I'll live long enough .... -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
