Thanks for the encouragement. I tried again and got it working - 780M
installer, 293 tiles, and got basecamp to create a 1.1G gmapsupp.img
file.

I've been keeping the gmapsupp.img files that basecamp creates in case
there's information in them that can help the reverse engineering of
the HEADS and CYLINDERS and suchlike.

Cheers,
Andy
