Hmm, yes. I do it too.
Still experimenting : according to the inside help,
--overview-mapname=name
        If --tdbfile is enabled, this gives the name of the overview
        .img and .tdb files. The default map name is OSM_map

Testing it, to find out a solution to my mixed maps menu, I thought that
if I don't add the parameter --overview-mapname, the overview files
(.img and .tdb) should be named : OSM_map.img and OSM_map.tdb.
But at least, here on my system, they are always named : 63240000.tdb
and 63240000.img.
If I use the parameter --overview-mapname=xxxxxx, the overview files are
 well named. Is there something wrong in my understanding of that
parameter ? (In case it matters, I made those tests using in both cases
the parameter --overview-mapnumber=63240500). Francois
