See above example. Family name is the generic map family name.
"description" should show up at the place where it says "OSM Map", but
it did not - so far. A hard coded "description" did, however.

The source code just says:
overallDescription = args.getDescription();
in src/uk/me/parabola/mkgmap/combiners/GmapsuppBuilder.java

... and I don't know why that doesn't work for me. Setting
overallDescription = "Something Else"; // hard coded
does work.

So you're saying that description only works if you set family name? I
can't see this in the source code, but I could be mistaken.

Yep. I'm a Linux user and MapSource will run happily under Wine, but I
don't think the USB connection will work out (did try once, did not
succeed, and I'm not too interested anyway).
