Hi, I replaced --latin1 with --code-page=65001 for testing. No problem with Costa Rica (for 2 styles). But I got issues with Auvergne (a French region) ! Here is the output (mkgmap-r3288) : finished check-styles java.lang.AssertionError at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.srt.Sort.createSortKey(Sort.java:214) at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.srt.Sort.createSortKey(Sort.java:258) at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.lbl.PlacesFile.sortCities(PlacesFile.java:378) at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.lbl.PlacesFile.allPOIsDone(PlacesFile.java:313) at uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.app.lbl.LBLFile.allPOIsDone(LBLFile.java:211) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.build.MapBuilder.processPOIs(MapBuilder.java:549) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.build.MapBuilder.makeMap(MapBuilder.java:213) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.MapMaker.makeMap(MapMaker.java:120) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.MapMaker.makeMap(MapMaker.java:69) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.Main$1.call(Main.java:253) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.main.Main$1.call(Main.java:249) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) Exiting - if you want to carry on regardless, use the --keep-going option Number of ExitExceptions: 1 Time finished: Mon Jun 02 15:11:34 GFT 2014 Total time taken: 21243ms No problem with --latin1.
