Is there anyway to split up the img file and only put on ireland and uk and not put on any of the other europe maps.

Nevermind. I managed to do it.

I used GMAPTOOL to split the img file into all the individual img files for each area. I was then able to use the same tool to select the maps i wanted an recombine them into a single gmapsupp.img file and copy it across to the gps.
