Ah, I see what you're doing.  I hadn't thought of doing that
exactly.

Now...  Should we eventually implement a MapSet feature, where you
can select different groups of maps at once (and probably a
different set of properties for each), would you then migrate to the
new system or would you still be missing something you need?

The only thing I can see the Auto Maps buying somebody right now is
a way to not have to go in and change your selected maps as you move
around, but you can do the same by selecting all maps at once in the
Map Chooser.
