This piece of software is for getting maps off the expedia server. It's basically similar to the one that comes with gpsdrive, but mine has some better features:

• it's python

• always downloads maps of same area to the same file (we are being nice to the server)
• does filename tagging (useful for keeping multiple mapsets)
• lots of stuff I forgot

...if you have problems, contact me at radek@podgorny.cz. If not, I would appreciate if you wrote some basic documentation on how to use it...
