Hi!
I haven't really understand what are the following mkgmap-options are for: [ cut family-stuff options, VS] I only knew that the map should have the same family-id (or was it the product-id?) as in the TYP-file.
But what about the others? Which are really necessary? And where will these informations be displayed?
java -jar mkgmap.jar --help=options tells you a bit about it: --family-id This is an integer that identifies a family of products. --family-name If you build several maps, this option describes the family name of all of your maps. Garmin will display this in the map selection screen. Example: --family-name="OpenStreetmap mkgmap XL 2019" TODO: at least the "-" character seems to have a strange effect on the family name; latin-alphabet and digits seem safe, but other characters should be checked. --product-id This is an integer that identifies a product within a family. It is often just 1. --series-name This name will be displayed in MapSource in the map selection drop-down. The default is "OSM map". The country-names etc. seem to have an effect on the country a map is in, i.e. if you set "country-name=Molvania", all your places will be in Molvania. However, I could be wrong here. For myself, I use --mapname=3100${mapid} (I increment this, as my Nuvi crashes if I put a different map on it with the same mapID as the previous one, could be some sort of caching mechanism) --description="$land" (this is just a textual description in the Nüvi) --family-name="Openstreetmap `date +'%d %b %y'`" (this is the map family name, also displayed) --series-name="OSM-Valentijn" (I don't think this is displayed anywhere) I don't use any other options on your list. Valentijn
