Sorry I'm a bit late on this thread...

Most of the parameters to do with family and product id's are not
stored in the .img file and so they need to be specified when creating
a tdb or gmapsupp file.  When a gmapsupp is created there is an extra
file added that contains family id, name etc information.  This MPS
file is within the gmapsupp, so you don't see it normally.

This file gained a lot of fixes recently and still might not be 100%
correct.

So you will need a command line something like this to create the
gmapsupp:

    java -jar mkgmap-r1429/mkgmap.jar --product-id=7 --mapset-name=OSM_M004
       --gmapsupp
	  --family-name=OSM_M_OV --family-id=46 img/06_restrictions_motorcar/*.img
	  --family-name=OSM_BASE --family-id=43 img/03_topo_base/*.img
       img/03_topo_base/OSM_BASE.TYP
