[mkgmap-dev] How to label maps generated by mkgmap -r3742

Mon Jan 9 18:19:21 GMT 2017

Thank you.

java ... mkgmap.jar ... -c template.args master_thin.txt --description=XYZ
--gmapsupp

Worked on BaseCamp and on Garmin GPS.

The only thing that would be nice would be a FAMILY description on the GPS.
Right now, Garmin City Navigator Shows a MAPNAME and in a smaller font
another name (family name?)
