[OSM-talk] Haiti: All in One Garmin Map now with Damage layer and MapSource installer

[Lambertus]

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.
