So if ALWAYS use --gmapsupp and template.args, should all of my options be listed AFTER template.args and BEFORE --gmapsupp? Example : c template.args master_thin.txt <<OPTIONS>> --gmapsupp On Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 8:33 AM, Gerd Petermann < GPetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com> wrote:
Hi Greg,
options.txt groups options by meaning. The order of options is important in that way that you can do something like this: java -jar mkgmap.jar --style=s1 1234*.osm.pbf --description=2nd_style --style=s2 1235*.osm.pbf For the files 1234*.osm.pbf the style s1 is used and option description is "not visible", for the files 1235*.osm.pbf the style s2 is used and description is "2nd_style". This concept is broken when it comes to options like "index","gmapsupp", "tdbfile", and others which are always processed after the *.pbf files so that they always "see" the last setting of an option. I hope that makes it clearer?
The file template.args is just a generated file which uses these rules, you can create your own file as well. I'll think about a hint reg. template.args.

I want to make sure I understand how the ORDER of the OPTIONS are to used. I was using the "options.txt" file to determine the order of the options. Is that correct?
Why exactly did you recommend putting the --description AFTER the -c template.args option?
Can you add a note to "options.txt" and using SPLTTER (template.args) OVERWRITES --mapname, --description, and --input-file?
I have --area-name and I cannot see it anywhere in BaseCamp or my GPS. I used --x-mapeset-name=blabla and I cannot see it anywhere in BaseCamp or my GPS.

The latter one doesn't appear in the help file, so it is an undocumented option and you can only use it with --x-mapeset-name=blabla
GMapTool shows the value, but I did not try where it appears on the device or what effect it has.

Thank you.
java ... mkgmap.jar ... -c template.args master_thin.txt --description=XYZ --gmapsupp
Worked on BaseCamp and on Garmin GPS.
The only thing that would be nice would be a FAMILY description on the GPS. Right now, Garmin City Navigator Shows a MAPNAME and in a smaller font another name (family name?)
