Small demo for tkgeomap

xeartk is a tkgeomap application that uses the geomapwdgeomap command to create an interactive map. The geographic data is from the xearth root window program. by Kirk Lauritz Johnson in an interactive widget. xeartk is not part of and does not require xearth. It only uses the outline data defined in file mapdata.c of the xearth source distribution. The cities are from factmonster.

Adjust the map view by Shift-Double-Clicking or Shift-Dragging. Double click a dot to display information about the city there on the terminal.
