That’s what I did:
You can set the family id for the map
family-id: 5000
product-id: 1
Following is a list of map tiles. Add a suitable description
for each one.
mapname: 63240001

input-file: 63240001.osm.gz
mapname: 63250001

I didn’t tried yet … I will in evening
Can you comment on this dfferent switchers/family ID for both maps?
I also didn’t check in device yet … just in software (qlandkarte).
I am surprised that over 4GB boiled down to 7MB and TOPO Czech map has 80MB for much smaller area.
