Steve,
Yes I mean the problem was unchanged. Well I think that you cannot be running the same patch as me then as there is certainly a difference in what goes into the osmmap_mdr.img
It may still not work in mapsource, but I have no way of knowing that without some help.
I also still have the Mapsource problem that e.g. a subset of 4 specific tiles around the black sea, touching contries like Ukraine, Romania, Moldavia, Turkey and Greece, do still break with a Mapsource Error MDR_TRIM_SC.CXX-808-6.16.3.0. The tiles are not all bordering. The crazy thing is, that when I generate the index files _only_ with those 4 tiles, they work OK and I can upload a map and index to the GPS. Mapsource breaks only, when I select the same 4 tiles within the context of the whole Europe map index files generated for all 787 tiles. I'm using the Geofabrik Europe extract ... If I select only the western Europe countries I can upload tiles up to 4 GB without a problem. This means to me, that there still is a problem with cyrillic and maybe also arabic encodings -- see Hosam's emails, and perhaps other encodings, too. Even with the translit_first2 patch! Any idea what testcase I could try or how I could nail down the problem? Use smaller tiles? Peter
