W/r/t the map update, was the motivation the size of the module? I'd expect JPEGs to give you lower-quality images. If you just want the images to take up less disk space, I'd recommend using PNGs and optimizing them with pngout. > This always worked fine since the maps otherwise were identical as far as pos > itioning and such. > > But now, the errors are annoying as it appears like 10-15 times in a row ra > ther than just once. > > Was there an intentional change in this regard?

Yes, having the error and logfile would be useful. I'd like to see what's happening. -- J.
