[mkgmap-dev] Setting mapset-name?

Tue Mar 19 09:40:17 GMT 2019

Hi

I've never seen the value of mapset-name (default "OSM map set") appear
in any context on either of my devices, but I do see the value of -
-family-name on the eTrex Legend in one of the "Map Setup" sub-menus,
where there are options to Hide/Show Basemap and Hide/Show {family
-name} and this disables/enables all the tiles in the gmapsupp.img

On the eTrex 30x, the equivalent function to enable/disable maps picks
the description from an arbitrary tile in the map and shows that to
indicate the complete map - very stupid.

So I don't think you should combine them in any way. If anyone has ever
seen mapset-name anywhere on any device, maybe they could report it and
it could then be documented, but for the moment, any changes would be
pointless.

Regards
Ticker
