Hi Paulo, I've tested on Windows and it works as expected: splitter.log says Splitter version 409 compiled 2014-06-05T13:29:14+0200 boundary-tags=use-exclude-list cache= description=OSM Brazil South Region ... template.args contains mapname: 99990001 description: OSM Brazil South Region ... If you get a different result, please send the log. Or do you mean that mkgmap ignores the description field in template.args? Gerd Paulo Carvalho wrote

People,

The --description option in the newest stable splitter release is not working. A default description is being given: "OSM Open Street Map". The description is useful for users select one amongst several OSM map sets that one may wish to install in the device. The command I'm issuing is as follows (Linux shell):

$SPLITTER_CMD --description="OSM Brazil South Region" --mapid=99990001 --output-dir=$HOME/osm_br_south $HOME/pbfs/brazil-latest.osm.pbf

thanks in advance,

Paulo
