Hi. For some reason it seems i am not able to perform this type of change in the finalize section. I get: Error in style: Error: (points:427): Unrecognised command '=' The lines in points finalize style looks like: name=* {name '${name}'} # next line to remove ' from names. name=* {set name='${name|subst:"'=>"}'} include 'inc/address'; Is this how it is supposed to look?

You can try in stylefile this addidional line : {set name='${name
|subst:'=>}'} . This action shoult remove the apostrophe.

Hi and with wishes of a Happy new year.
When preparing maps i use the setting --latin1 (same as --code-page=1252)
This is good most of the time, since most language specific characters are replaced with plain latin characters. Cyrillic is transliterated to latin.
In Ukraininan there is a softening letter (ь), when this is present in a name, it is transliteradet to ' (apostrophe).
For example the city Львів becomes L'viv. This in turn makes searches more difficult since one not familar with the language may not know where the accentuation is placed. As a forigner i would not know if it is Lviv or L'viv.
Is there some better code page to use to start with (still performing transliteration) or some way to ask mkgmap to remove the apostrophe from the text?
Regards Karl
