It does give that warning in the latest checkout. Good tip though :)

I think you've inadvertantly nailed it. I'm in Scotland :)

At the moment my attention is focussed on creating base maps for the
Garmin itself, as the basic "yellow-with-motorways" isn't a lot of use
for walking (or anything really). Have I missed this functionality in
Viking? I'm currently playing with mkgmap for this function, but it'd
be nice to see Viking able to dump out the Map layer(s?) to a gmapsupp.img
