How do you compose the gmapsupp.img?

I use --product-id=1 for all layers in my gmapsupp.img, and use a 
different family-id for each layer, both when generating the .img files 
and when composing the gmapsupp.img. You can get my osm2img.sh from 
http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/ if you are interested.

For what it is worth, the Edge 705 does not display the --description 
anywhere. It only displays the --family-name and allows maps to be 
enabled or disabled by --family-id (which are identified in the dialog 
by family-name). I have understood from others' reports that the GPSMap 
60CSx displays the --description. I have not seen the map selection 
dialog of any other device than my Edge 705.

Best regards,
