Certainly, but that only works for Windows..

Once the selected tiles are downloaded you only need sendmap20 to combine them to a gmapsupp.img file. Both for Windows and Linux there is a free sendmap executable: http://cgpsmapper.com/buy.htm For windows no installation required. Just unzip. (I did not test the Linux version).

and if Germany or the Netherlands are of your interest then we're talking about clicking and downloading ~80-140 individual tiles.

For Netherlands and Germany you would provide a ready to download map. But for for the rest I fully agree with you. Download many tiles manually is not a pleasant task. That's where a download program could come in handy. So I made one.

My suggestion is: You could advocate on your site that people who are only interested in a gmapsupp.img file to download the selected tiles and put them together themselves with sendmap20. If they need a download program (for windows) they could use mine (no installation required).

And thinking further ahead in case you're interested: Then an extra button next to the selected tiles which brings to another page where all tiles are summarized and where the -tile url's- selection could be easily copied to clipboard. Further some text and links to where to obtain sendmap and a/the downloader(s).
