Hi everyone! I'm struggling with i18n on my Oregon 450. To make a long story short: altough the map itself is OK (Japanese map with codepage 932), the device will not display any characters at all (not even latin ones). I have tried virtually everything and come to the conclusion (for now) that the solution is not in the device or its software (at least not for now). Then I had a look at the OSM raw data (OSM/XML) and found out, that labels are not in japanese only. Most nodes that have names have a tag set like this (don't know if my mail client will handle the Kanji characters properly): <node id="236578577" lat="35.7206495" lon="139.7787494" user="JaTrainWikipedia" uid="1008753" visible="true" version="10" changeset="13836660" timestamp="2012-11-11T18:09:02Z"> <tag k="name" v="鶯谷 (Uguisudani)"/> <tag k="name:en" v="Uguisudani"/> <tag k="name:ja" v="鶯谷"/> <tag k="name:ja_rm" v="Uguisudani"/> <tag k="name:ru" v="Угуисудани"/> <tag k="railway" v="station"/> <tag k="wikipedia" v="ja:鶯谷駅"/> </node> There are two tags that are particulary interesting: "name:ja_rm", the romanized version of the Japanese characters and "name:en", the english version of the name (wich might be in most, but not in all cases, the same thing). I suppose the binary format also contains this information?! If there was an option like "--tag-names=ja_rm" or something like that that would allow me to compile a map containing only latin characters, I could have 2 maps: one for Mapsource/BaseCamp with proper Japanese labels and one containing the romanizations only for my device. I would love to contribute the code necessary, but I'm less than bad at java coding :-( What do you think of this feature proposal? Regards Steffen
