+Problems
+========
+ - On GPSMapp 66 (and as I heard 64 also) there is a problem with OSM Unicode
+ maps. Device complains "cannot authenticate map". It seems Garmin requires
+ all Unicode maps to be signed. Non-Unicode maps (from openmtbmap project) work
+ well
+
+
+Note
+====
+(Of course you could also define the .img files by folder, and you probably
+have to add the path wo mkgmap) This will create a gmapsupp.img file, that
+you can upload to your GPS in USB mode (place it into /garmin folder on GPS
+internal memory or memory card)
+
+Note that all 6*.img have to be from the same openmtbmap country file -
+otherwise only one "country" will show in proper colours. You can instead of
+deleting all but one typfile replace *.TYP with e.g. clas*.TYP or the full
+name like clasde.TYP.
+
+-–family-id should be the same number as the first 4 digits of the maps (if
+- you use a different number, you have to adjust the FID inside the
+- .TYP-file). Note every map on your gps needs a different family-id (else
+- they won't be shown).
+
+-–family-name can be set to any value (only use letters and numbers, no
+- Umlauts or symbols) and will be shown as mapname on the GPS maplist.
+
+2 b) if you want to have contourlines (altitude lines) included too, just
+change the above command from "6*.img" to "6*.img 7*.img" and put the *.img
+from the contourline download into the same folder before running the above
+command.
