So, after a lot of trial and error it seems that this bug is not related to differences between commits. I supposed that --latin1 switch is implicit, but if my options omit this parameter address search doesn't work. If I use --latin1 explicitly, everything works fine.

Yes, latin1 is not the default, although we did decide that it should be some time ago, so I shall go ahead and do it.

This problem only occurs on Nuvi. GPSMap is not affected.

Without --latin1, the labels are stored in a compressed 6 bit format that is upper case only. I did wonder if it would work with the index, but it seems to for mapsource so I allowed it. It is quite plausible that it doesn't work with some devices though. ..Steve
