Hi Bernd,

Are you creating multiple maps from single template.img?

Template.args include "mapname", which overwrites definition, that you 
give as mkgmap option. This results in duplicated mapnames in your 
files. GPS rejects duplicates and probably this is the reason, why you 
don't see maps.

You can try to remove mapnames from template.args:
grep -v mapname template.args > template2.args

And then compile map with options like this:
... mkgmap.jar ...
--mapname=65001001
-c template2.args
--description=bonn_20150306_1700_basemap
--gmapsupp

The only advantage of using template.args is that you get name for each 
tile, which is not visible in GPS anyway.
