I've noticed that , when creating a gmapsupp, the FIDs of a tdb file as set by --family-id= does not necessarily tally with the FID of a TYP file - in which case the TYP file is ignored by any gps device.
I had always intended that mkgmap would be able to fix up the family and product id when using a TYP file. This is already done for a text typ file, the command line options override whatever is in the text file. Here attached is a patch that implements patching in the correct family and product id's before adding to the gmapsupp.img. I don't want to patch the original file directly, so a copy is made beginning with the letter 'x' which is copied into the gmapsupp. This file automatically gets used if you are creating a nsis windows install file too.
I haven't checked if the same applies to text files.
Yes, it always worked with a text file, and that is the way I would recommend it be used if possible. Pre-built jar at: http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/detail/70 ..Steve
