[gps-talkusers] Re: Loading multiple maps

What you need to do is to move all the individual files from the region 
folders into the same folder. Once you do that, I'd rename that folder "Maps."

Otherwise, the program can't route to maps that are not in the same folder.

I have discovered that there may be a problem with the city index file in 
the area of London. We are looking into this right now and will report back.
