[mkgmap-dev] Why is there a code-page in the .typ-file? And - is there a code-page a gmapsupp.img?

Oh well - I just noticed the Garmin winter activity map is also in 
unicode and the .typ-file is also code-page 65001. Well so actually 
mkgmap should correct the code-page in the .typfile if creating a 
gmapsupp.img if code-page is given...
(well I use gmt.exe to change the code-page now.)

I don't know if changing the .typ-file code-page to 65001 will help on 
the earlier issue of maps showing unlocked on edge 1000 / gpsmaps 64 
with newest firmware. Well soon I think there must be a new Oregon 6x0 
firmware update too, and I suppose that changes to the new security 
mechanisms too - then it will affect much more users...
