[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH] support for shift-JIS (Japanese) encoding

Sun Oct 9 20:14:13 BST 2011

This patch lets you set --code-page=932; with it, mkgmap outputs maps 
with proper Japanese characters for my Oregon 300. It disables 
transliteration.

To display on my unit, I use modified fonts that include Asian 
characters, which I downloaded from:
http://download.garmin.com/tw/download/TW_MAINWEB_UPGRADE/nuvi200_TWN_v410.exe
using instructions from:
http://www.malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=289&start=20
My resulting font files in Garmin\ExtData are:
006-D0952-05.bin 2,378,440 bytes
006-D0952-06.bin 8,006,800 bytes

Can others verify that it also works for them?

I'm a Java newbie, so the implementation may be sub-optimal.
