[mkgmap-dev] Mysterious capitalisation (or not) of labels

2011-07-03 Thread Charlie Ferrero
mkgmap, or Mapsource, or Garmin in general, seems to have inconsistent 
capitalisation of labels.


Take the following two buildings:

Building 1 (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/99899451)
name=Khalidiya Palace Tower A
building=yes

Building 2 (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/99899455)
name=Khalidiya Palace Tower C
building=yes

In Mapsource (6.16.3) these labels render differently (see attached).
Building 1 renders as Khalidiya Palace Tower a
Building 2 label renders as Khalidiya Palace Tower C


Is this a bug in mkgmap or a bug in Mapsource?

I think, this is a Garmin problem. A single letter A is always displayed in
lower case. I guess, this is due to the indefinite article of the english 
language.

In my maps I have this problem with the german motorways, which have a name like
A 1, A 2 and so on, but in my maps they are always displayed as a 1 and a
2 and so on.
