The tdb-file contains the copyright messages from each of the the map
tiles, eliminating duplicates. So if the files are created with
different versions of mkgmap, or even created by a different program
altogether these messages will all be collected together in the TDB
file.

In this case 30007501 and 30007502 where created by mkgmap-r3650 and
40001173 was created by mkgmap-r3336.  At least that is what the
copyright message within those files say.

The TDB file contains several copyright blocks, including both these
versions numbers.

Anyway that is a side issue...

I think you are probably looking for --area-name which defaults to
'Overview Map'.  This is the one that is displayed in MapSource anyway.

The 0x52 record defaults to the string 'Test preview map' and has no
known use so we havn't added an option to change it.

Best wishes

..Steve
