Steve,

as already announced:
with all the intensive testing regarding unicode, gmap and others I found following in my opinion strange behaviour in relation to gmapsupp format:

 * my mkgmap call for gmapsupp creation contains the option
   '--product-version="1612"'
 * when checking the created gmapsupp.img with GMapTool, the heades
   does contain only 'v 0.00'
 * when checking the gmapsupp.img via BaseCamp while the GPS is
   connected the version column also shows 0.00
 * the detailed output of GMapTool does not contain the string "1612"
   at all

This raises my concern about product-version not properly handled in the gmapsupp conversion.

Yes, I know, a gmapsupp.img may contain more than only one product/family/map... But as mkgmap creates a gmapsupp.img for one product/family only per run it might be worth writing the version info properly into the header ? .... other maps (official ones) seem to propagate the release information into that header field.

I'm not completely sure if above assumptions are correct or if I missed something.

Sorry for bringing up another issue.... ;-)
And thanks for looking at it.

Cheers
Patrik
