Hi Hosam
Searching at "Find Nearest Places" fails exactly as my first post. For example, if I want to search for any place contains the word مطار I should type أطار
I think "Find Nearest Places" has noting to do with MDR file because when I remove MDR key from the registry, MapSource doesn't disable "Find Nearest Places". Is that right?
That is true, the index is not needed for Find Nearest. Which means that the problem must be in the individual tiles. If I create a single tile with only one POI with the name "مطار" then as far as I can tell the same string is placed into the .img file, I am not seeing the obvious corruption of letters that I could see in the other case. (I'm using the options --code-page=1256 --route --index --tdbfile) Unfortunately I don't know enough to go further with this, without more help about what might be wrong. ..Steve
