I don't think you need to unless you want you labels to be in
more than one character set eg Greek and Cyrilic.

There is not a separate code-page for the gmapsupp - it is just a
container for other files.  There is a code page for the individual
.img files and also for the global address index (MDR) and the sort
order file (SRT).
