It should work with the default style. Let me try now.

josm
* hit ctrl-shift-o
* download relation 155054
* download the bounding box
   minlat='60.146908999999994' minlon='24.9462708'
   maxlat='60.169635799999995' maxlon='24.9937026'
* or just download the above bounding box straight away
* save to file test.osm

java -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --latin1 test.osm

strings gmapsupp.img |grep 009
KAUPPATORI 0099(SUOMENLINNAN LAUTTA)
SUOMENLINNA 0098(SUOMENLINNAN LAUTTA)+

The same thing with osm.pbf should omit the name of the ferry route 
relation from the "bus stop" labels:

strings gmapsupp.img |grep 009
KAUPPATORI 0099
SUOMENLINNA 0098+

Strangely, I failed to convert the test.osm to test.osm.pbf:

osmosis --rx test.osm --wb test.osm.pbf
osmosis --rx test.osm --wb omitmetadata=true test.osm.pbf
java -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --latin1 test.osm.pbf

This would produce an empty gmapsupp.img for me (10k or 8k instead of 
the 92K). I have no idea what goes wrong. Maybe my Osmosis 0.39 is too 
old? This is the first time I have asked it to write osm.pbf. XML output 
and PBF and XML input have worked.

Best regards,
