Hi Steve,

thanks for testing. Please report anything that is different to the trunk 
version, also if it is better.

I'm downloading data for Europe, will compile and test it later.

The only glitch I have noticed is in Mapsource. It looks like index doesn't 
contain references to last word of street name. For example, there are streets 
"Marszałka Ferdynanda Focha" and "Aleja Grunwaldzka". I can search for 
"Ferdynanda Focha" but not for "Focha" alone. I can search for "Grunwaldzka", 
which exist in another location, but I won't find "Aleja Grunwaldzka" with that 
search. This isn't new, the same behavior show my older maps.

Maybe there is something wrong with SRT? I have uploaded samples of original 
SRT, you can compare with srt from mkgmap:
http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/352/srt.7z

Garmin uses 2 types of CP1252, I think one of differences is that "Western 
European2 Sort" expands 'Æ'.

You can check srt files, that comes with cgpsmapper too, there is file 
"sort.img" in cGPSmapper distribution, which contains multiple srt subfiles.

I have never seen that kind of message. I would expect something like "can't 
authenticate map", which means that Garmin doesn't want you to use free Unicode 
maps in this device. You would need a bit older model to test Unicode, for 
example 23xx, 24xx, 34xx, 35xx.

Would be nice to get support for mkgmap from Garmin ;)
I think you can find developers on Garmin forum:

I don't know how helpful they could be in case of problems caused by non-Garmin 
map.

Hi Andrzej,

thanks for testing. The problem with my Oregon is that it doesn't find any of 
the characters in the expand section.
You are right, it might be an error in the SRT file which is ignored by the PC 
programs and also by my nüvi.
I've already fixed one error (see 
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap=3942)
but that did not solve my problem, so I wanted to find out if other devices 
show the same problem.
I'll also try to reproduce your problem case. I assume you use --latin1 and 
--x-split-name-index ?

Gerd
