Hi, I've built a map with --lower-case using mkgmap r1877. On my Dakota (FW 3.80) I don't see any problem, on a quick look everything seems to display fine, including rotated chars. Street search (old method, without index) is also Ok (another map for the region without --lower-case seems to be searched also, although it's disabled, so both versions are found). QLandkarteGT also displays fine. The Dakota even goes a step further: When using a map with only upper case letters it will convert all letters execpt the first one of each word to lower case to make it look nicer. Of course this method produces some glitches like the street originally named "An den Eisteichen" being displayed as "An Den Eisteichen" or "Centimeter II" becomes "Centimeter Ii", streets named "Straße" show as "Strasse" etc. This can only be fixed by putting the real data into the map using --lower-case. Thus I'd strongly suggest not to remove the option. Keeping it default off would be Ok for me. -- Bye, Chris
