[mkgmap-dev] question about output-dir and indexing

Mon Oct 5 19:33:01 BST 2020

mapname and description are taken from template.args. Try removing those 
parameters from your command line.
Regarding index, in order to get right addresses you need to supply 
bounds file (--bounds). You can get it from 
http://osm.thkukuk.de/data/bounds-latest.zip
