This did the trick!

Thanks a lot for your great support.

Hi Rheinskipper,

okay, mkgmap writes the last description into the gmapsupp, sp please try this:
java -XX:+UseCompressedOops -Xmx2800m -jar ..\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar -c ..\mkgmap_settings.txt -c ..\tiles\template.args --description=xyz --gmapsupp 2>..\err2.txt
without the gmapsupp option in the mkgmap_settings.txt

Gerd

And here is a screenshot from Homeport showing the confusing name:

Ups, last line of my mkgmap_settings.txt should be
gmapsupp

I accidently deleted this line while cleaning file from unnecessary commented out options for the post.

My gmapsupp.img is used on marine devices or homeport pc program. It can be downloaded here:

Hi rheinskipper,

I don't see an option to create a gmapsupp,nsis or tdbfile in your mkgmap_settings.txt.
What command / tool do you use to install the map on the pc or on the device?

Gerd

Hi Gerd,

The hint does not work for me. My map also has an unwanted name from cities15000 (last entry from template.args).

I run mkgmap with this command:

java -XX:+UseCompressedOops -Xmx2800m -jar ..\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar -c ..\mkgmap_settings.txt -c ..\tiles\template.args 2>..\err2.txt

mkgmap_settings.txt contains this:

style-file=../styles
style=oseam
family-name=OpenSeaMap
series-name=OpenSeaMap
description=OpenSeaMap
mapname=OpenSeaMap
country-name=Europe
area-name=Europe
family-id=8800
product-id=1
copyright-file=../copyright.txt
draw-priority=20
latin1
order-by-decreasing-area
lower-case
precomp-sea=../planet/sea.zip
name-tag-list='name,name:de,name:latin,name:en'

Hi Greg,

you probably missed my additional hint about the position of the option. I tried this command (uses default style)
java -ea -Xmx1024M -jar d:\MKGMAP\dist\mkgmap.jar --family-id=665 --family-name="Ohio" --product-id=3 --series-name="OH_1-5THIN_BC" --area-name="My_maps" --gmapsupp --latin1 --index --x-split-name-index --bounds=f:\osm\bounds.zip --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --housenumbers --overview-mapname=OH-ov --overview-mapnumber=12380000 --remove-ovm-work-files --check-styles --min-size-polygon --route --drive-on=detect,right --check-roundabouts --check-roundabout-flares --remove-short-arcs --add-pois-to-areas --add-pois-to-lines --pois-to-areas-placement="entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance" --generate-sea=extend-sea-sectors,multipolygon,floodblocker,close-gaps=6000 --make-poi-index --process-destination --process-exits --tdbfile --poi-address --verbose -c template.args

and I see the string "OH_1-5THIN_BC" in the *.tdb file and in the gmapsupp.img.

I am using "--series-name="OH_1-5THIN_BC" (you can see in my mkgmap command, pasted previously) and I do not see this label in BaseCamp nor on my Garmin Montana 600. You can see that I never specify "US-Mansfield" (which is the label I see in BaseCamp and on my GPS) in either my splitter command nor my mkgmap command, so I assume it is coming from cities15000.zip (from the splitter side)

Ahh, ok, that should be --series-name. The help says:
--series-name
        This name will be displayed in MapSource in the map selection
        drop-down. The default is "OSM map".

I understand that --geonames labels individual map tiles with the largest city name in 'cities15000.zip'.

I am trying to generate a gmap for each state in the USA. The example I gave was for the state of OHIO. The generated gmap file, when opened in BaseCamp and my Garmin Montana 600, has the label "US-Mansfield" instead of "OH" or one of the other labels I was trying to associate with this gmap of OHIO. It is very confusing because I am generating about 10 states, and each one has a label that seems to be extracted from the cities15000.zip.

How do I control the text I see in BaseCamp or on a Garmin GPS when I look at the list of installed gmaps?

Hi Greg,

I am not sure what you want to achive. When you use the option --geonames-file in splitter
it adds location specific description options for each fie in the generated template.args:
mapname: 63240001
description: ET-Addis Ababa
input-file: 63240001.osm.gz

If you edit those lines before using it in mkgmap you probably get what you want.
Of course it makes no sense to do this each time when you run splitter, so I suggest to
keep the modified file and pass it to splitter with the --split-file.
While OSM data grows you have to repeat the process.
I see no easy way to automate that with a script.

Another option could be to modify the content of the cities file.

I am trying to label different maps for each state and the map name seems to be comming from cities15000.zip

Here is my splitter command:

java -Xmx1024m -Xms1024m -ea -jar \MKGMAP\splitter-r560\splitter-r560\splitter.jar --max-nodes=700000 --handle-element-version=keep --mapid="12380000" --geonames-file=\MKGMAP\cities15000.zip --description=OH-greg --max-areas="255" --no-trim --status-freq="600" ohio-latest.osm.pbf
pause

Here is my mkgamp command:

java -ea -Xmx1024M -jar \MKGMAP\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --mapname=Ohio --description="OH_1-5THIN_BC" --latin1 --index --x-split-name-index --bounds=\MKGMAP\bounds.zip --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --housenumbers --overview-mapname=OH-ov --overview-mapnumber=12380000 --remove-ovm-work-files --style-file=\MKGMAP\BaseCamp-style\openmapchest --check-styles --family-id=665 --family-name="Ohio" --product-id=3 --series-name="OH_1-5THIN_BC" --area-name="My_maps" --min-size-polygon --route --drive-on=detect,right --check-roundabouts --check-roundabout-flares --remove-short-arcs --add-pois-to-areas --add-pois-to-lines --pois-to-areas-placement="entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance" --generate-sea=extend-sea-sectors,multipolygon,floodblocker,close-gaps=6000 --make-poi-index --process-destination --process-exits --tdbfile --poi-address --verbose -c template.args master_thin.txt
pause

I have used 'description' 'mapname' ' family name' 'series-name' I still cannot seem to get my maps to be labeled correctly.

In BaseCamp v4.6.2 the map is labeled "US-Mansfield" and on my Garmin Montana 600 it is also labeled "US-Mansfield"
