Thanks.  I've just given it a quick spin on my eTrex (Legend HCx if it
matters).  I gave it the longest journey I regularly do - Cambridge to
Lochcarron - and it came up with a sensible route via A1, A696, A68,
M90 and A86 (amongst others).

However, I normally drive via A66 and Penrith, so I tried adding an
intermediate route point at a friend's house in Penrith.  The unit
spent about 10 minutes at "100%" and then gave me a basemap route; I
tried routing from Cambridge to my friend (and then from Cambridge to
an arbitrary point on the motorway nearby), and these both failed the
same way.  So I suspect a problem with that tile.

I *may* still have the areas file from the splitter (if it's not been
overwritten by generating new contours - as splitter always uses the
same file name), if that would be useful.

It definitely works enough to be useful, but I think one or two
gremlins must remain.
