Setting map name when seen in eTrex Vista
I have created 2 sets of maps and when I load them into the GPS they both have the name in the menu to hide show a map set, see menu.bmp When I go to individual maps I can see the correct names, see bike & car.bmp I have tried every option on mkgmap but this never changes, any one know where the name is set?

The name in the Menu.bmp is the family-name. It is valid for all tiles of that family-id. The name in the bike.bmp is the tile name, in mkgmap config file you set it with the "description" option. If you want to have one gmapsupp.img which contains a bike map and a car map and both have more than one tile you need two different family-ids and family- names. If you use TYP files you need one for each family. Your template.args file might look like this: product-id=1 family-id=1234 family-name=car_map mapname=10000001 description=maptile_1 input-file=10000001.osm.gz mapname=10000002 description=maptile_2 input-file=10000002.osm.gz [...] product-id=1 family-id=5678 family-name=bike_map mapname=20000001 description=maptile_3 input-file=20000001.osm.gz mapname=20000002 description=maptile_4 input-file=20000002.osm.gz [...] mapset-name: car_and_bike_map
That fixed it, also needed to re-add the map set with mapsettoolkit to pickup the familiy id. Thanks On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 7:07 PM, Ralf Kleineisel <ralf@kleineisel.de> wrote:
