Hi,

I'm trying to create two variant maps for Ukraine.

The first one should show the labels in cyrillc letter. This works quite fine using mkgmap r2580 and the following command line options

--code-page=65001 --name-tag-list=name:uk,name,name:ru,name:en,name:de

Precedence is given to the ukrainian or russian labels if they are available and as a fallback english or german names are used.
Since revision 2512 it is possible to user codepage 65001 to generate unicode maps and have a map that is not restricted to a single codepage.
This map displays quite well on my Oregon 550, firmware 6.20
This thread helped a lot on that matter http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2013q1/017000.html

The second variant of the map should give precedence to the english and german names if they are available.
In case there is no english or german name, I would like to have the cyrillc name (name:uk, name, name:ru) to be transliterated to roman letters. Previously I was using mkgmap r2237 and the following command line options to achieve this.

--latin1 --charset=windows-1252 --code-page=1252 --lower-case
--name-tag-list=name:en,name:de,name:uk,name,name:ru

Here I was using information from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/i18n

With r2580 I still get the english an german names if they are available. But on elements that only have cyrillc names there are only question marks shown on the Oregon.

So my questions are:
How can transliteration from cyrillic to cp1252 be achieved in current releases of mkgmap?
Can a transliterated map be generated using code page 65001 (ie unicode output)?
Is there an option to externally provide transliteration tables to mkgmap or is this all hard coded inside mkgmap?

Thanks
Wolfgang
