which introduces a date in the series name, when installed via the gmapi file in roadtrip and basecamp will not overwrite the previous map.

correct, that's the reason why i made beta in such a way that it puts only
the typ version.

...unless you can find a way to uninstall any osm map with a particular
unique identifier (eg. Family ID number), then install a new version over
it.

Does this affect the mapsource installer?

Adding the date on the map can help us later on to debug reported problems instead of just the word "latest".

make the uninstaller remove the specific product_name & product_version
(which will be different every time).

what if you just execute "delete all" folder and subfolders of a particular
family ID prior to installation of a new version. - so that you have clean
install everytime (as well as the windows menu)

The mapsource installer does this already by overwriting the installed
osm-ph garmin map folder in the Program files directory. This
becomes an issue wih gmapi maps for mac.

This only affects installed maps in Mac. A workaround is to manually delete the maps at ~/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Maps
