Thank you for those explanations Garvan.
Whatever I tried, it didn't work.
I run a linux box, I don't run Mapsource. Splitter and mkgmap are my
only friends ;-)

I saw the following thing: if I use the different options you gave in
your message when I compile an .osm file to produce the 3 .img files I
want, then gather them to create the gmapsupp file, it doesn't work on
my Garmin Oregon T400. The family-name and description are not displayed
at all. On my GPS, the maps available are just shown that way :
Enabled - family name
OSM street map
Enabled - family name
OSM street map
Enabled - family name
OSM street map

But, if I don't use those parameters when creating the different .img
files from the .osm file, but use the parameters --family-name and
--description when I gather all the .img files to create the
gmapsupp.img file, those infos are well displayed on my GPS.
