Hi
Mapsource and the devices do work very differently when it comes to searching and it is possible that there is nothing that can be done easily.
I'm aware of such differences, but I had not faced a case like this one before, with missing countries (can't type Cuba on nuvi 300 address search, so no address can be found in this country) or no POI findable at all (nuvi 3760). On the HCx I've discovered that "La Bodeguita del Medio" is included in the list of nearest POI displayed by device and you can select it, although if you try to spell it, it doesn't appear.
I believe that the differences are related to the change in r2335.
That includes a change where if a POI does not have a city, but does have a region, then a city without a name is created with the given region.
These cities are not included in the index as seen by mapsource because they don't have a name. The device index is different, and so the device can work out the region from the information in the img file.
I might be able to fix the index, so that uses the region of a city that has no name. But I wonder if I am missing something. In the index you can attach a POI to either a city or a region directly with a flag and it makes sense that you could do that in the img file too. I did check when the question came up, because I had a bad feeling about cities with no name, but perhaps I was was looking at street rather than POIs.
With maps created before r2335, are the POIs findable on both mapsource and the device or missing on both? I have compiled the map of Cuba with r2332 and noticed no difference neither on MapSource nor on HCx or nuvi 300. If you want to have a look at the map I can put it somewhere to download.
