Right I'm not going to do anything with this before checking whats
already been done. plus it does not seams as simple as I thought it
should be......

I've currently got GPSMid downloaded and I'm trying to get it on my
phone, but Converting just the UK seams to take quite a bit of time,
and rather overloaded by 64bit Dual Core 2Gb  Linux box last night.
