Hi Ticker, while experimenting with the index and unicode I found a rather simple case that doesn't work as expected. I've attached a small example file and a patch for the default style. A map produced with these options and the patched style --style-file=d:\mkgmap\resources\styles\default --lower-case --preserve-element-order --code-page=1252 --gmapi --index --housenumbers --bounds=bounds.zip bad-search.osm produces a map that shows an error in the POI search. I search for name=abc123x in region Bayern and get the correct result list of three different restaurants named abc123x. I search for name=abc123x in region reg1 and get the correct result list of three different restaurants named abc123x. Now I also fill the search field city with Burgpreppach. with name=abc123x in city Burgpreppach and region Bayern the result is still correct. with name=abc123x in city Burgpreppach and region reg1 the result is not correct, it also lists the objects in region Bayern So far I found no correction for this. It also doesn't seem to depend on the lower-case option. Any idea? Gerd
