[mkgmap-dev] Recent crashes when searching on device

Wed Mar 2 12:37:55 GMT 2011

Hi

There have now been a few reports of problems searching on some
devices with the latest version of mkgmap.

It seems that it occurs when a gmapsupp.img is created directly
by mkgmap and sent to the device. In other words the index itself
has nothing to do with the problem, if this is correct.

This is probably good news since there are not too many changes
to stuff outside of the index itself.

So could people confirm that when they see crashes they are not
installing via mapsource, and what GPS device they are using?
