The largest two problems are that I have never been able find a means to
select a small number of tiles to download into one of my small memory
sized devices and the user interface is miserable for any purpose other
than an entire mapset and loading it into a device (which I do by USB or
memory downloads and neither BaseCamp or MapSource when I want to
install and entire mapset).

I have just downloaded QMapShack and it loads my GB map, so I suggest replacing
QLandkarte with QMapShack in the command arguments page.
Ticker - can you explain what functionality is not available in BaseCamp but is
available in MapSource? I haven't found anything, although as I started from
BaseCamp I may well have missed something.
Cheers,
Mike

Subject: Re: [mkgmap-dev] Misc documentation fixes
Hi Gerd
I think mentioning MapSource in the documentation is useful. I had not
used it before and found it trivial to install compared with the
difficulties there are in installing Basecamp on a Windows 7 machine.
Once installed it was simpler and faster than Basecamp and had
capabilities close to my eTrex HCx which seem to have been removed from
Basecamp and newer Garmin devices. I was also pleasantly surprised that
it found my --gmapi maps from the same location as Basecamp uses.
I also note that the documentation mentions QLandkarte. This has been
discontinued and QMapShack is recommended instead; but from this
information I wouldn't remove QLandKarte from the documentation and
wouldn't add QMapShack unless it is known to work with mkgmap maps.

Hi Ticker,
I like the idea to fix the svn version :) Should work for quite a
while...
Not sure why you want to add MapSource again to the documentation? It
was removed after this discussion:

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Misc documentation fixes
Hi Gerd
Here are some documentation fixes & improvements + a change to
build.xml to use 4 chars for the unknown version number so that
offsets
match the typical 4 digit svn version number. This minimises noise
when
comparing the display of internal structures.
I can't tell if I've got the layout in typ-compiler.txt correct until
it appears on http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/doc/typ-compiler
If it looks bad I'll do another patch.
Ticker
