I wonder if anyone has tried mkgmap-generated map on Garmin mobileXT (symbian). Text labels (POI and streetnames) are all abbreviated. Burger King appears as B K, but KFC is OK. A spell search on 'Burger' correctly returns 'B K'.
Setting all labels as uppercase doesn't work though. I've tried different options (latin1, lower-case in mkgmap and upcase, codepage in osm2mp) but still the same problem. No such problem viewing the map in mapsource.
For those affected by this problem, we found a work-around: Supply a code page on the command line: "--code-page=1252". This code page gets written to the header of the LBL file, while otherwise mkgmap just writes zero.
Probably, mkgmap should make some effort to automatically write a sensible code page -- how are the options latin1, charset and code-page meant to work together? Does one affect input, the other output?
Cheers Robert
