Hi Enrico, you may try to install the map via Basecamp/Mapinstaller. I would not be surprised to find that Garmin reduces the support for the old format. It may even happen without intention.

Hi Enrico, are you sure that the device supports unicode maps? Note the last sentence in the description of the code-page option: --code-page=number Specify which international character set is to be used. Only 8 bit character sets are supported so you have to specify which code page you want to use. It is entirely dependent on the device firmware which code pages are supported.

Atch! Got it... it's a real pity :( On Thu, Jun 11, 2020 at 11:37 AM Felix Hartmann <extremecarver@gmail.com> wrote:

All garmin devices sold first since 2016 block free unicode maps. So it's not the maps by mkgmap are corrupt - but garmins copyright protection is wrong. Usually the message was better however saying maps cannot be unlocked (but haven't been locked from the start of course)
