[mkgmap-dev] naming map layers in a gmapsupp.img

Mon Dec 14 16:35:50 GMT 2009

Moin,

I have multiple map layers in my gmapsupp.img file, but I can not set the name
of the layers, so that they can be identified on my nuvi.

The first layer is created by the following call:

java -jar  -Xmx6144M ../../mkgmap-r1170/mkgmap.jar
--style-file=../../styles/06_restrictions_motorcar --remove-short-arcs=5
--transparent --product-id=7 --family-id=46 --country-name="Deutschland"
--country-abbr="D" --family-name="OSM_M_OV" --tdbfile --draw-priority=18
--max-jobs=3 ../../osm/Europa/66666???.osm.gz

The second layer is created by the following call:

java -jar  -Xmx6144M ../../mkgmap-r1170/mkgmap_style_2.jar
--style-file=../../styles/03_topo_base --remove-short-arcs=5 --product-id=7
--family-id=43 --country-name="Deutschland" --country-abbr="D"
--family-name="OSM_BASE" --tdbfile --draw-priority=8 --max-jobs=3
../../osm/Europa/66663???.osm.gz

And in a third step I combine both layers into the gmapsupp.img:

java -jar mkgmap-r1429/mkgmap.jar --product-id=7 --mapset-name=OSM_M004
--gmapsupp img/06_restrictions_motorcar/*.img img/03_topo_base/*.img
img/03_topo_base/OSM_BASE.TYP

The resulting map is working ok, just when I look at the map settings in my
nuvi, both layers are displayed in the same way

family name
[1] OSM street map
family name
[1] OSM street map

So, what parameters do I have to set, so that I can identify the layers on the
nuvi by the mapname?
