Actually, it'll use any texture map you can find a jpeg for. There's a list
of starter suggestions at
http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/maps.php
I was looking for one with the state boundaries so we could see the states,
but couldn't find one. They do have a data file for arcs with state
boundaries, but it's pretty rough and doesn't look like much.
Here's the state lines, such as they are:

And to show off the texture mapping, here's what it looks like with the "Earth
at night" map:

BTW, I put Jon and us back on the map, in case anyone was curious. Moved the
average to latitude 41.01 deg N, longitude 85.73 deg W.

That's always been my personal opinion, but having grown up in the Rockies I'm
