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. Greg On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 10:49 PM, Gerd Petermann < gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com> wrote:
The java code shows that the options area-name and mapset-name are evaluated. 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?)
