Quoting Garvan & maew <garvan.maew@online.com.kh>:
I have only written trivial programs in Java, and mkgmap is to advanced for me but I am trying to understand the code and I see that,
mb.setAreaName(areaName != null ? areaName : "Area " + info.getMapname());
in GmapsuppBuilder sets the area name when none is given.
To me the behavior reported by Charlie Ferrero is more or less what I was expecting. There is no reason to expect a tool like sendmap would have the same defaults as mkgmap. My GPS has no external memory so I can not test myself.
Perhaps Charlie Ferrero needs to try is setting the --area-name to what he wants his map named?

So you're suggesting that sendmap works through the gmapsupp.img file and replaces the text in --area-name with that in --family-name? Seems a bit strange, but I'll test this later to see what happens when I set --area-name and then copy the file manually. I'll also try a diff on the two files and post the results. Charlie
