[mkgmap-dev] character repertoires

Wed Feb 13 20:04:13 GMT 2013

There is support for a number of character sets in mkgmap, but do we have
any collected wisdom about what character repertoires are supported on
our devices?
While at the hack weekend, I tried some latin2 on my new device and was
pleasantly surprised that “šř” appeared in a street name – on my old
GPSmap 60CSx with the very same gmapsupp.img, I see them as what looks
like “.Ø” on the map and “◊Ø” in the tooltip when hovering over it.
