It uses the default region name set from the option --region-name.

I have since discovered that you can create the highway records without
a region and the gps doesn't seem to care. If you don't have a
region, gpsmapedit doesn't recognise the existence of the highway but I
consider that no big deal. So my current code (patch not yet
posted to list) doesn't force you to have a region defined, it just
gives a warning.

I still haven't found out how to make the gps default to use the exits
in the OSM map rather than exits in the basemap. It may turn out that
the highway does need a region defined to make this work as we want but
it's not yet clear if that's true or not.

Cheers,

Mark
