Hi,

I will have to look into this in more detail, but the first thing to do
is to remove the CodePage=1252 as mkgmap will try to read the file
as though it is in written in that code page.

When you do that there is an error. I think that is probably caused by 
the BOM.  If so that should be easy to fix.
