<div>You probably use the <a href="http://template.args">template.args</a> from Splitter which overwrites the --description. Make sure to place options description and gmapsupp after the template file.

<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not sure whether this is an issue about options or their<br>
documentions. I'm using mkgmap to generate maps from openstreetmap for a<br>
garmin etrex.<br>
<br>
<br>
Although I am using all possible options as described in the<br>
--help=options output to set names, i.e.<br>
<br>
--description=...<br>
--country-name=<br>
--country-abbr=<br>
--region-name=<br>
--region-abbr=<br>
--area-name=<br>
--series-name=<br>
--family-name=<br>
<br>
(with option values, of course), but the map name contained in the file<br>
header and displayed in the etrex is still some generated by mkgmap and<br>
build from a 2-character County code and the first major city it finds,<br>
e.g. MV-Male for Maldives.<br>
<br>
As I do understand the --help=options output, the options listed above<br>
should change this name, as the help text says<br>
<br>
--family-name=name<br>
If you build several maps, this option describes the<br>
family name of all of your maps. Garmin will display this<br>
in the map selection screen.<br>
Example: --family-name="OpenStreetmap mkgmap XL 2019"<br>
<br>
--area-name=name<br>
Area name is displayed on Garmin units (or at least on eTrex) as<br>
the second<br>
part of the mapname in the list of the individual maps.<br>
<br>
<br>
Although I use this options, e.g. to call a map something like<br>
„Maldives”, it still shows this „MV-Male” (or „AE-Dubai” and so on).<br>
<br>
<br>
How can I change this name ?<br>
<br>
<br>
regards<br>
<br>
