[mkgmap-dev] Re: Lower case option & special codes

Hello Steve,

Lower case letters are used by Etrex Vista HCx when you focuse an object 
with the cursor and Mapsource renders map with lower case letters when 
they are defined. I also confirm Etrex Vista HCx is able to display 
names in lower case letters on some POI types. Upper case letters seem 
to be vectorial letters for polylines.
Does the option work with latin1 and  codepage 1252 ?

See lower case letters in action on the attached screen captures.

On the capture "POI-lowercase-name", "Croghan 606m" is a pillar POI 
defined with the first part of name hidden (special code ~[0x1e]).
You can see the full name on capture "POI-focus".

Regards,

David
