Thank you Torsten. You use "--overview-name", but mkgmap --help=options
gives me the parameter "--overview-mapname" instead of --overview-name"
Which one is the right one ?
Using approximatively your parameters, I can't make my garmin to display
the family-name nor the description. I tried with or without quotes for
the description and the family-name, it doesn't work on my gps.
These are the different options I use, maybe one of them conflict with
another one and avoid the names to be displayed :

Hi,

These are my notes on where the various name and description options are used. If my notes are incorrect in any details, then I hope others will coerect my observations. Also I wonder if MKGMAP is reversing the series and family names?

mapname
Filename of detailed map image without the extension. Must be a number.

overview-mapname
Filename of over view map without the extension. I found this must be a number if the map is to displayed in MapSource, but this appears to be a MKGMAP requirement, not a GARMIN requirement.

series-name
Product Name displayed in "Select a Product" drop down list in mapsource. Stored in TDB file and not used by GPSr.

family-name
CD set name displayed in Map product Info in MapSource (Selected from the About->Mapsource dialog box). Stored in TDB file and not used by GPSr.

description
Detail map name displayed (followed by map number in brackets) in User Data Tabs in mapsource when a map is selected for upload. Stored in the detailed map - uploaded to GPSr.

overview-description
Text displayed in the AREA column in User Data Tabs in mapsource when a map is selected for upload. Stored in TDB file and in overview map. Uploaded to GPSr when the combined map is created during upload.

area-name
When a gmapsupp file is created, the arae name is used instead of the overview-description.


Tow others I saw recently.
tdb-v4
Not valid (V4 is the default anyway)

overview-name
Not Valid.

Notes.
In a GPSr if a map is uploaded from mapsource the name of a map is formed from

description, overview-description

and if a gmapsupp file is created then presumably (not checked as my GPS has internal memory)

description, area-name

So the description should be used in the GPSr, but if you do not use mapsource then the family name will not be visible.
