[maplab-users] GMapFactory error

[Zak James]

David,

This is due to an error in the new version. Franck Villoin already 
encountered this and helpfully provided a patch which I'm including 
below. It will be incorporated in a bug fix release but the 
modification is small and you can make it in your local copy if you 
don't want to wait.
