OK thanks. I found the problem straight away on my first guess!

There is a section MDR8 which I added which is an index of
the first four letters of the street name into the streets section.

Now I think that would probably work OK, but there is one problem.
In one case there is "Calle" spelt with a C-cedilla "Çalle" (is that
even correct?).

Anyway when I search back to find the first street name beginning with
"CALL", I stop after "ÇALLE REAL" because the search treats it as a
different letter and so the first street that is
found is "CALLE REAL (A-8076)"

For the moment I am disabling the section, (I was wondering if it was
even used, but I guess we know now that it is used by mapsource).
