Hi Felix
I will then always get warnings like the following - even though the maps seem to work fine in Mapsource, Basecamp and on my GPS.. /WARNING: input file 73630000.img has different code page 1252// //WARNING: input file 73630000.img has different charset type 10// //WARNING: input files have different code pages// / (e.g. ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/openmtbmap/odbl/mtbmonaco.exe - just unzip the .exe - it's lzma packed.
In that file it seems that both the .img files have the same code-page and sort-order, so when I specify --code-page=1252 there is no warning.# It certainly could happen though, and as long as there are no symbols in the file with the wrong code-page/sort-order then the map will still work.
Sometimes on bigger maps - mkgmap even crashes while running due to the codepage/charset option - e.g. if I create a map of Europe... Dunno really why this crashes..
What is the crash that you get? If it is because of mismatched code-pages then it is not unexpected, that's why there is a warning. It is just a warning rather than an error, because sometimes there will not be a problem - perhaps I should make it an error. ..Steve
