Any one have an idea why the maps download default is off?

. It seems unchanged since the original version (in 2005)
. Possibly in the beginning Viking had problems if no internet connection 
available.
. Most users would now always have an always on connection, such that those 
that don't have it or want to control things manually are the minority.
This would better for new users.

Thus now would be a sensible time to change the default to on.

[On a larger note, I do have plans to make the defaults for layers configurable 
- especially useful for tracks/waypoints and maps.
May be in the current preferences dialog, or even in a separate layer 
preferences dialog]
