I skipped one point.  If you set the Map Properties for each such .geo file
to the range of zoom levels at which you want it displayed, you can get the
effect you are after.

One might have to be careful that one doesn't violate the license for SA
in doing all this, but as long as you're using the captures on the same
machine as the licensed version of SA there shouldn't be a problem.
