Hi
I've just found out, why the maps with routing capabilities enabled don't show the german umlauts. There are two places, where faults occur:
Thanks for looking into this and finding the problem. I can now see why it worked for some people using different codepage options to osm2mp.
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(openFile(name));
When no charset is given, then the default one is used, which differs from platform to platform, so if you gave a matching codepage to osm2mp (and that allowed umlauts) then it could work.
should read Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(openFile(name), "CP1252");
The clean solution would be to read the codepage from the mp file itself, as there is an entry for it.
Ok so I will look for the CodePage=xxxx option and use that when opening the file.
While debugging, I made an interesting detection: My Garmin etrex Venture Cx displays lower case letters for some labels! As far as I can see, it's only the case for city names, not for streets, but maybe I can find out more.
I think you will find that it does this even if the labels are all in upper case and it is just lowercasing all but the first letter of a word. I added an --lower-case option some time back if you want to see if your etrex can really display lowercase. Best Regards, ..Steve
