OK I thought this might merit some discussion.

The top level directory is currently controlled by --overview-mapname.
So it is the same as the basemap name.
It should, based on looking at what the Garmin MapConverter
does, use family-name instead.

The scripts/gmapi-builder.py script uses the product name, which would
not work in the case where there is more than one product in a family.
I don't know if anyone actually does that.

What is the family name for that map?  It should be in the first
<Name> element in the Info.xml file.
Does it have spaces or underscores or is different altogether?
