Frederik, I think it would be good if you added the following parameter to the Mkgmap commandline: --series-name="OSM Map of Haiti dated $DATE"
This will make the map selection box in MapSource more clear (It now says "OSM map"). Another option could be: --generate-sea=polygons,no-sea-sectors,close-gaps=2000 This will add sea polygons to make the distinction between land and sea (copied from the Mkgmap mailinglist). Hope this helps.
