so it might be that the file has properly encoded characters, but the device does not properly display them ? That is a possibility. Do the older Garmins (such as GPSMap 60 and Edge 605/705) support anything else than the ISO 8859-1 like CP1252? I think that I saw some hacked Russian firmware somewhere, with some 8-bit Cyrillic encoding support, I suppose. no idea about older ones, but this specimen is etrex vista hcx
Do you have a garmin map, which shows the characters as expected? This will prove that the device could display the chars at least.
nope, default garmin map was quite a joke. i submitted a question at garmin techsupport. -- Rich
