Hi Gerd, In my estimation my file is in utf-8, but when in file are national characters (Ł: U+0141, utf8 C581; ó: U+00F3,utf8 C3B3;ź: U+017A.,utf8 C5BA) mkgmap report an error (I attach 2 file - one with arguments  and second with command line and error message) Best Regards Darek niedziela, 01 października 2017, 08:02AM +02:00 od Gerd Petermann GPetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com:

Hi Darek, no. Same conditions as with the style files. Gerd ________________________________________ Von: d.kwapisz@onet.eu <d.kwapisz@onet.eu> Gesendet: Sonntag, 1.

Darek sobota, 30 września 2017, 07:29AM +02:00 od Gerd Petermann GPetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com<mailto:GPetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com>: Hi Darek, When mkgmap reads the command file (like template.args) it expects utf-8. I think Garmin only uses latin-1 characters in the fields for description, map name etc, but I am not sure about this. Did you already try it?
