Do you think about putting in a switch, or reversing index only for
--gmapsupp?
Before it was working alright in Mapsource and on GPS (if transferred
via Mapsource) - wasn't it?
    

No it didn't work before - the gmapsupp would be created with an empty
MDR file and so would have no useful effect on the GPS.  At least that
is what happend for me, and that was what I was expecting - it is the
only use that the MDR 1 index could have that I can think of.
I just tried it out with a map created with rev 1260 - so before the reverse index implementation. and it DOES WORK - at least so far I can tell (this is exporting with Mapsource 6.13.7)


1. I used the same gmapsupp.img on my Vista HCx and going to find --> cities --> find by name I can find all cities and they pop up by name completion
2. Recheck with identical map but deleted mapset00_mdr.img from registry - cities --> find by name --> I can only find cities present in the basemap (american) - not in my tile of Austria. So I do assume the search index in step 2 must have been created correctly, if it fails when not having the mdr registerd in Mapsource.

I don't know where the difference lies as I do assume you had the mdr well registered in Mapsource too. Somehow a bit strange or?
This index is something that is not present in a gmapsupp style MDR.
