Yep.  See the same thing, often.  Not a big deal and doesn't appear to me to affect operation either.  I reported that to the author of that bit of code a while back, but it's probably not worth fixing.

One thing that I've noticed that is a problem though:  Switch to these two maps:

     OSM_tiled_topOSM_0_relief.geo
     OSM_tiled_topOSM_2_features.geo

In my area, specifically center the map on top of my WE7U-15 icon and go to zoom 332 with a large map window of maybe 1600x1200 or just slightly smaller.  What I see is features replicated from the center to the right edge for the upper-right quadrant sometimes, perhaps three copies of the road sysetm.  I can't make it do that here at work, but at home I can.  Don't know why.
