Hmm, when I first set up my config file (quite a long time ago), I could only get it to work after examining the one produced by splitter, which has colons in it. However, after trying again, it does indeed work with equals as well, so not sure what was going wrong before. Please find attached an updated patch that clarifies that either form can be used. I've also fixed a few typos in the documentation as well.

Hi Gerd, I don't understand what is meant by a mapset in this context. As I understand it, a single run of mkgmap builds a map, not a set of maps. The map may consist of a number of files - is that what you mean by mapset? I notice there are three other mentions of mapset in the page, but no explanation of what it means. Can you clarify, perhaps we can come up with a better term? Moving the overview-mapname sentence seems sensible.

I stumbled over a change in this section: old: The --overview-mapname option can be used to change these names.

I also think "The --overview-mapname option can be used to change these names." should be moved directly after If instead the --tdbfile option is given then the index consists of two files named osmmap.mdx and osmmap_mdr.img which can be used with MapSource. a few lines above.

Hi Gerd, I have realised that the 3 other mapset mentions I saw were on the OSM wiki version of the mkgmap documentation, not mkgmap's own, so presumably an out of date copy. Mkgmap's documentation has one other mention in my copy, but this has already been removed by the DEM changes on the live web page. I think map is clearer - I don't have MapSource, but Basecamp's menu allows managing and installing of maps not mapsets. Please find attached an updated patch that includes moving the overview-mapname sentence.

Maybe map and mapset are the same in this context.

Hi Steve, thanks for the clarification. I've committed the patch to trunk now. Gerd ________________________________________ Von: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> im Auftrag von Steve Ratcliffe <steve@parabola.me.uk> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24. Januar 2018 13:17 An: mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk Betreff: Re: [mkgmap-dev] documentation patch Hi Just a note - I think the term mapset comes from Garmin but as far as I can tell they always spell it as two words "map set". For example in Mapsource (early versions at least) they use the term "Map Set Name". Also see https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/506564 which uses the term "map set". On the other hand there are very few examples of Garmin using the term and it is mainly used by Garmin users (in both the single word and two word forms) and almost certainly pre-dates mkgmap. [To be clear I support removing mapset from our documentation] ..Steve On 24/01/18 11:35, Mike Baggaley wrote:
