Hi, could some people please test with their maps using unicode on their
GPS (--code-page=65001) and maybe also report FID (family-ID) used for maps.
I have the problem that some users report the maps show up as locked!
(maps created with mkgmap version 3300 as of June 18)
So far problematic:
Garmin GPSMaps 64 - FID 6371 - sent from Mac OSx Basecamp/Map Install.
Garmin Edge 1000 - FID=6531 - sent via??
Works as tested below ( sent via Mapsource, Mapinstall (Windows) and
gmapsupp.img created by mkgmap.jar (java 1.7 windows) ):
Garmin Oregon 600 - FID 6365 works...
Garmin etrex 30 - FID 6365, works...
Works without problems as long as no code-page other than latin1
characters are in the map AND is sent via Mapsource or MapInstall
(Windows) - does not work if gmapsupp.img created by mkgmap! Problems -
even German Umlauts (ÖÄÜ or "french" accents like é) are not displayed
correctly anymore (instead split into two funky looking characters).
Therefore for old units --latin1 is still the better option for old
devices for most european countries.
Garmin Vista HCx - FID=6365
So it's clear that there is something wrong in the way mkgmap.jar
creates gmapsupp.img for maps with Unicode - though it does work for
newer devices with full unicode support. Mind though I did not check on
the unit itself if cyrillic or arrabic script is actually working.
BTW 2. -- It would be great if there is a short-code like --latin1 for
unicode too! E.g. --unicode instead of --code-page=65001, just for
simplicity...

keep on biking and discovering new trails
