Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane
Since lots of people, had difficulties with cygwin, in7ane, has come up with a nice gui PC tool for generating the maps...It's still in development phase (as most of this project :-), so if you find a bug, please report it in this thread...

source and exe (in /bin/debug/):
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/bin/gmdl21.zip
it does require Microsoft .net 2 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ (~22Mb)
but installation and usage seem to be much easier and straight forward for average user :-)
[EDIT] Here is a link to a newer version, featuring:
- custom map creation
- GPSFS - map compression format...
- POI/directions support
- numerous map vendor support
- hybrid maps and more

Check the thread for details and latest versions...
Application display needs to resize or needs scroll bars...
It's still useable and a great program, the problem is that on my laptops 1024 * 768 resolution I am unable to see the entire application display. If the program display would resize with the window or scroll bars were added it would be a great help for those who don't have access to large resolution screens. Another option would be to put some of the options at the top of the display, in its own tab, or on an independant tool panel. Just throwing out some options. Shouldn't be too hard to code. Because of this I'm limited to google, but I'm cool with that because I'm still shopping for a receiver right now... It's hard to find exactly what I'm looking for in Japan.
Peace
