Here you have the options I use and the result in nuvi 300. I hope this
help you:
--description="OpenStreetMap-Iberia"
--family-name="Open Street Map"
--series-name="OSM-Iberia-s"
--gmapsupp
I copy generated gmapsupp.img directly to the nuvi's SD. In the map
selection menu I get:
[ ]Open Street Map (from --family-name)
    [1] OpenStreetMap-Iberia (from description)
