That actually goes for your home area as well, and you'll have to make multiple downloads to get the the relevant areas without too much of what you don't need. Wishful thinking: it would be great if there was some way to download maps by city, region (state, province, etc) or country rather than hard bounding boxes. Very few cities are perfect circles or squares. :-) I imagine that's up to OSM, though, and they would probably have to revamp the I/O mechanism & specs to deal with it. Although I would personally like to be able to download the "world" package and have everything accessible at once. I don't know if there's any way to load that into Roadmap...
