Thanks for the response!  Apologies for being one of those people who don't
RTFM!

I didn't spot this!  I think what i was really looking for when i was clicking
around was a "show only this layer/route/&c." option.  I remember this being a
fairly intuitive thing to figure out in photoshop.  The semantics would be a
little more involved given the nested layer structure, and i can't quite
remember how photoshop made it so obvious.  Gimp has shift-click at least.
I'll think about exactly what i mean :)  Thanks for pointing out the existing
functionality.

I can't get this to work: i enabled that option after opening Viking with no
arguments (and no default start up file), pressed F6 to get rid of the mark,
closed Viking and then restarted, and the center mark was back again.

Ah -- i never tried the select tool.  This seems odd to me: the select tool
appears in the section of browsing tools rather than editing tools, and
already the track edit tool provides most of the editing features for the
route points.  Select is nicer to use because it doesn't pop up the dialog,
but maybe it should be moved into the next tool bar section?

Me either -- but when you first start using Viking it's not encouraging to
find a large number of the maps don't do anything, so i thought it was worth
cleaning them up a bit.  Maybe there needs to be a visible warning when
download fails.

Ah, cool!
