Yet again - I now get the feeling that for a Mac I should be zipping the "gmap" directory but then _naming_ it with a "gmapi" as a tail on the filename ala "BigSurTrailmap.gmapi" where that is a zip file of the gmap directory.
I am getting myself confused! (Partly because in the python-script I run to create the gmap files, those are created in a BigSurTrailmap.gmap directory which is below a BigSurTrailmap.gmapi directory - so using that last name as a zip file name would require some fancy footwork to avoid a name conflict.)
I am used to a zip file always having a .zip tail in the filename but this would be a case where that is not so (but now that I think of it, a GoogleEarth kmz file is really just a zip file - so that would be another example.)
