7.1 Name variables and where they show up
7.1.1 Introduction
There are three locations where the names of maps, map sets, and related information
("name data") are specified:
• the PFM file;
• the PFM Preview file; and
• sendmap options.
There are various locations where the name data is displayed both on the GPS unit and in
the Garmin MapSource software. Figure 4 shows the relationship between where the name
data is specified and where it is displayed.
7.1.2 PFM File

collection of PFM files. The name data is specified between the [IMG ID] tags.

unit if the ID field in the PFM is not specified as a decimal
field or is not listed correctly.
