so that the Windows file cache fills up with them. This will cause a delay
when first scrolling left or right with new map data showing, however.

of data), so any map .dta file over 10,000,000 bytes won't be included.

CONUS.LAS and CONUS.LOS if they're not in the USAPhotoMaps folder.
Adds extra Comm Ports to GPS Menu.
Did away with Version Update (only) of USAPhotoMaps 2.62. Most users
were downloading the installable version because it's simpler.
