[mkgmap-dev] multiple code-pages in a map

Tue Nov 13 16:21:05 GMT 2012

Hi,
I have a problem with a map containing different code-pages. A 
problematic region for me is Middle Asia. There are parts with Chinese 
names, Cyrillic names, Arabian names, Turkish namesand Hebraic names.

I create the map with code-page=1251 (means Cyrillic)and it works for 
the Cyrillic partquite good. But in all other parts mainly ? are displayed.
Do you have any solution beside only use english names? This isn't quite 
useful, because in the region you wont find English names. Maybe it 
would be possible to transliterate all names, which couldn't be 
displayed in the used code-page? Or cuttiles at country-boarders like 
Garmin did it?
