I have a simple (I think) and not very important, query: My Garmin reports my mkgmap-generated map as 'mapsource' (presumably the default - I do not use Mapsource to upload it). Is there a way to make it say 'mkgmap' (or something else) instead? Thanks, Roger -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roger Calvert ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Roger, I don't see the string mapsource in the source (only in comments), so this is probably hardwired in the device. You can use the options --copyright-message and --license-file to mention mkgmap. Gerd Roger Calvert wrote

I think Roger meant this (see lower corner left) https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3hq98r43905yby/04.bmp This mapsource stamp is hardcoded in the older Garmin devices.

Thanks, Gerd and Minko. I was wondering if there was some value I could set which would over-ride this. For example, according to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/IMG_File_Format, byte 0x0E indicates something about MapSource, but changing this with a hex editor had no effect. I'll assume that it's hard coded as Minko states. I don't think of my GPSmap 60CSx as an older device, but I suppose I have had it more than 3 years now, and things move on! Thanks again.
