Hi Gerd
template.args shouldn't overwrite mkgmap's description, while splitter's 
description has to much limits

splitter's description is not the best solution, when you created more then 
one layer(=gmapsupp.img) for a region, because you can't get something like 
bonn_20150503_1700_basemap oder bonn_20150503_1700_fixme,
only the description you set in template.args, here bonn_20150503_1700. or you 
have to run splitter for every layer. splitter and my dach extract takes ~ 9 
minutes per run

with mkgmap's description i can created different descriptions, but then i 
can't use template.args. and with mkgmap's description i can see more the one 
installed gmapsupp of bonn 

But template.args with cities15000.zip is a good possibility to find out in 
which tiles which city is, see the splitter.log, maybe it is usable in 
different ways.
