I don't think so. Language setup lets you choose one language and then GPS displays only one language. It doesn't make sense a bilingual display. They're not like printed street signs, etc. Furthermore, this hypothesis doesn't explain a Garmin made map displayed without such characteristic in the same GPS. Thanks anyways, Paulo

Is this maybe compiled with Unicode? I could image unicode maps somehow support bilingual language set. E.g. top cyrillic, bottom latin? On 29.06.2014 13:16, Paulo Carvalho wrote:
Hi,
Did someone take a look at this? (see mesage below, sent some days ago)

Greetings,
I was testing a map compiled with mkgmap and I tried search in "Cities" category. The search result screen capture is attached. Notice that for each city the same text is unnecessarily repeated, taking up display space. I know this could be avoided because I've seen a Garmin-made map (City Navigator, compiled with Garmin's MPC) on the same GPS model that doesn't display such redundant information. I don't know whether this is something up to mkgamp logic or something I must work on my style files. If the second is the case, then I'd like to know some tips on how to avoid such duplication. Sorry, the cap is in Portuguese, but I think you'll recognize what's going on. This is not really an issue, but some users are finding it somewhat odd, thinking some other information could be put on the secondary field (country? population? you name it...) I think any hi-res Nuvi model has this feature. Low-res devices (such as Nuvi 255w) don't display secondary information in the city search results page.
many thanks and keep up with this great job,
Paulo
