No clue. I think you are right. But, I think we should chaneg the default refresh time from 30s to at least 1 day before making downloading the default. (I use a 'gpx.viking" file with map layers the way I want them and do viking gpx.viking foo.gpx so this defaults problem isn't actually annoying me.)
