I have another one - i wasnt actually shure whats going on but it seems
that when using the splitter - converting the osm files individually
with mkgmap and later merging them with mkgmap to a gmapsupp the
ability to search for streets gets lost - i get a list shown which
contains my example street "Alt Hammoor" but when searching by entering
characters "AL" the list is empty - Entering "Al" does not work (GPSMap
60Csx) because pressing ok on the lower case "l" does not cause it to
be added to the search string.

I remember i was able to find "Alt Hammoor" by entering "ALT" ...

I'll convert a smaller subset without splitting and merging...
