Preparing to distribute your map
================================

You may want to share you map with others.
This section shows how you prepare it so that it is
well named and doesn't clash with other maps.

--family-id::
    This is an integer that identifies a family of products.
Range: [1..9999]
Mkgmap default: 6324

--family-name::
If you build several maps, this option describes the family name of all
of your maps. Garmin will display this in the map selection screen.
Example: --family-name="OpenStreetmap mkgmap XL 2019"

--product-id::
This is an integer that identifies a product within a family.  It is
often just 1, which is the default.

--product-version::
The version of the product.  Default value is 1.

--series-name::
This name will be displayed in MapSource in the map selection drop-down.
The default is "OSM map".

--area-name::
Area name is displayed on Garmin units (or at least on eTrex) as the
second part of the mapname in the list of the individual maps.

--copyright-message=note::
Specify a copyright message for files that do not contain one.
A fixed copyright message that is visible in BaseCamp, but not on a
device, is also included.

--copyright-file=file::
Specify copyright messages from a file. Used if you need to display more
than one copyright message or do not want the fixed copyright message to
be included. Note that the first copyright message is not displayed on a
device, but is shown in BaseCamp. You can make the first line of the
copyright file blank to work around this.

--license-file=file::
The contents of the file will be used as licence information to
be added to the map.
