Hi Felix
1. Switching to unicode I ask myself If I should also change the typ-file to code-page=65001
I don't think you need to unless you want you labels to be in more than one character set eg Greek and Cyrilic. Well I'm not sure. The Garmin Winter activity map (only unicode map I know that's free) only has latin1 characters in the .typ-file (languages French, English, German) - yet they use Unicode for it. But I don't know if this is any sort of requirement.
2. I couldn't notice any change on compiling a gmapsupp.img regarding a code-page set. Is there actually a code-page for a gmapsupp.img? Especially regarding address index. Or is the code-page only for the map.img files themselves?
There is not a separate code-page for the gmapsupp - it is just a container for other files. There is a code page for the individual .img files and also for the global address index (MDR) and the sort order file (SRT). okay thanks a lot for the clarification... So for the case that you have a mapset/gmapsupp that contains both unicode and another code .img files - I'm pretty sure this is fine as long as the MDR and SRT are in unicode...
