Here is a screenshot how labels are displayed on my GPS:

How can I set this map version number?

Hi Greg,

options.txt groups options by meaning. The order of options is important in that way that you can do something like this:
java -jar mkgmap.jar --style=s1 1234*.osm.pbf  --description=2nd_style --style=s2 1235*.osm.pbf
For the files 1234*.osm.pbf the style s1 is used and option  description is "not visible", for the files 1235*.osm.pbf the style s2 is used
and description is "2nd_style".
This concept is broken when it comes to options like "index","gmapsupp", "tdbfile", and others which are always processed after
the *.pbf files so that they always "see" the last setting of an option.
I hope that makes it clearer?

The file template.args is just a generated file which uses these rules, you can create your own file as well.
I'll think about a hint reg. template.args.

I want to make sure I understand how the ORDER of the OPTIONS are to used.
I was using the "options.txt" file to determine the order of the options. Is that correct?

Why exactly did you recommend putting the --description AFTER the -c template.args option?

Can you add a note to "options.txt" and using SPLTTER (template.args) OVERWRITES --mapname, --description, and --input-file?

I have --area-name and I cannot see it anywhere in BaseCamp or my GPS.
I used --x-mapeset-name=blabla and I cannot see it anywhere in BaseCamp or my GPS.

The java code shows that the options area-name and mapset-name are evaluated.
The latter one doesn't appear in the help file, so it is an undocumented
option and
you can only use it with --x-mapeset-name=blabla

GMapTool shows the value, but I did not try where it appears on the device
or what effect it has.
