[mkgmap-dev] Feature Request: mkgmap able to create gmap archive (BaseCamp)

Sun Dec 4 15:48:56 GMT 2016

Just to let everyone know:
I get this 'Unknown Block' Output only when I run gmapi-builder.py with 
the option -v for verbose. Without -v it's not shown.

Would it be possible that others just haven't seen it as they didn't use 
the verbose option ?

Cheers
Patrik
